Processor operating at 0.2ghz with immediate overheating
Processor operating at 0.2ghz with immediate overheating
To make it clearer, my computer dropped off my desk, but it’s still running. When I open the Home screen, the clock speed jumps way too high. I’ve bought some thermal paste and expect it to arrive soon. Do you have any advice if that doesn’t solve the issue? I’ve attached some photos from HWMonitor below.
The heatsink is not secure. When pairing with the Intel cooler, move two pins side by side into the motherboard.
It's nice it's operating at 0.2Ghz, since at 105C it reaches the critical max temperature. Without this protection, the CPU would actually melt or shut down repeatedly to avoid harm, which it is capable of doing.
An impact resembles dropping from a desk, which is more likely to damage the cooler's mounting parts. You're likely in need of a replacement CPU cooler.
