  1. I think something cooked in my computer but I can't tell. What I /can/ tell is that my PC /feels/ slower, and when doing demanding things like rendering video it will most of the time come to a complete freeze. It's done this three times so far.

    Just now I had it freeze trying to export a new video of Sonic Racing Transformed. This time, though, it popped up with a BSOD and a code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

    This didn't happen before the heat wave (though there were also some updates that happened recently too), so I feel like something broke inside the PC. :x http://pny.lv/bhd

        1. @neuraria that probably would fix the problem hot weather and a dirty fan can really hit your computer hard

          1. @shako481 Hmm. It's cooler weather now though and it's still doing it. I mean obviously the fan could still have something to do with it but what if the damage is already done? What else can I check?

            1. @neuraria if when you clean the fan and its still happening it might be worth getting a new fan but i think just in the hotter weather you computer just overheated which wouldn't do any real damage to it
