I’m facing a really bad silicon chip situation. I understand overclocking and underclocking, but I’m not sure how to handle this. My motherboard is an MSI 990F Xeon gaming card, and my motherboard has a huge CPU cooler with copper pipes and a big heatsink. I have a Zotac GTX 1060 with 3GB RAM. My CPU was destroyed by an older model, so I’m not sure what to do. If you could help me get my PC to stop restarting and freezing randomly, that would be a huge relief. Also, let me know if the issue might be elsewhere.

gadget for measuring voltage, amperage, and power usage is often used to monitor electricity. At the same time, you can swap thermal grease, put on gloves, take off the CPU heat sink from the socket, remove the CPU from its place, clean the CPU heat spreader with baby oil (rub lightly with a cotton cloth, ensuring it dries), apply thermal grease (available from PC stores or online), place a single dot, reinsert the CPU into the socket, and install the heat sink.

■ If you know how to use a multitester, check your PSU connector output and see if your multitester readings match the guidelines on the website.
■ When was the last time you changed the thermal grease?
■ How might a CPU damage an Astrix?

I don’t really understand why my PC kept becoming more unstable until eventually I couldn’t launch Windows correctly. The IT person fixed it by modifying the GPU settings, and I found a forum post where someone shared the same issue. Also, I’m not sure what a multi tester is—could you explain it to me? Thanks for the post.
