question 34 of 99
you have just finished upgrading the cpu in your desktop system. after running the system for about 10 minutes, the system locks up and automatically restarts.
which of the following is the best first steps in troubleshooting the problem? (select two.)
□ replace the power supply.
□ make sure the heat sink is properly mounted and has thermal paste.
□ check the cpu fan power.
□ check the power supply voltage switch.
□ remove any unneeded components and run the system.
□ i want to review this question later. (optional)

Explanation:

When a system shuts - down and restarts after CPU upgrade, overheating is a likely cause. The heat sink must be properly mounted with thermal paste to dissipate heat from the CPU. Also, the CPU fan needs to be working correctly to cool the CPU. Replacing the power supply, checking the power supply voltage switch, or removing unnecessary components are less likely to address an over - heating issue right away.

Answer:

• Make sure the heat sink is properly mounted and has thermal paste.
• Check the CPU fan power.
