Overheating and Noise

Overheating issues due to inadequate ventilation in the computer's environment or setup
CPU or GPU temperatures exceed normal operating ranges, as monitored by software
Graphic-intensive applications cause the system to heat up more rapidly
Users experience discomfort from the heat generated by the device during use
Dust accumulation is visible around vents, contributing to poor heat dissipation
The computer's outer casing becomes unusually hot to the touch
Cooling fans kick in to high gear shortly after startup, regardless of workload
The system emits warning beeps or messages related to thermal events
Overheating alerts appear, or the computer automatically shuts down to prevent damage
Even with minimal tasks, hot air is forcefully expelled through the cooling vents
The system's performance throttles down significantly to manage heat
The computer restarts unexpectedly, indicative of reaching critical temperature thresholds
Fans run at high speed and produce loud noises continuously
Noise from the cooling system increases dramatically under load
Fans run at full speed immediately, yet the system doesn't boot
Computer begins booting and then abruptly powers down
Thermal paste appears dried out or insufficient, affecting heat transfer efficiency
Noise levels from the computer's fans become excessively loud
Unusual patterns or colors show up that are inconsistent with actual content
Display shows a brief flash of content, then switches to black
Startup is accompanied by unusual mechanical noises
The system repeatedly powers on and off without completing boot
Computer powers up after being left unplugged for an extended period
System frequently becomes unresponsive, necessitating a hard reboot
