A technician replaces a CPU and then notices the fans are continuously running. The computer randomly crashes after about five minutes. Which of the following should the technician do to prevent this issue from reoccurring?
Given the symptoms described, the issue seems to be related to improper cooling of the CPU, which can lead to overheating and system instability. The continuous running of the fans indicates that the system is trying to cool down the CPU, possibly due to insufficient contact between the CPU and the heatsink.
To prevent this issue from reoccurring, the technician should:
A. Apply thermal paste.
Thermal paste helps improve the thermal conductivity between the CPU and the heatsink, ensuring efficient heat transfer. By applying thermal paste correctly, the technician can ensure proper cooling of the CPU, which should prevent overheating and system crashes.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. Apply thermal paste.
