Memory dump occurred 11/29 last. Does not appear to be a pattern at least from what I've seen and heard. Any help would be appreciated. Did recently uncover what appeared to be thermal paste in the CPU socket covering some of the CPU/pin connections. Cleaning this out appeared to have stopped the pc from unexpectedly powering off. Still having some app errors etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello and welcome Jerry mate now the dumps do not show much at all to me at the moment so can you run these for starters
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Disk Check < if necessary include the /f and /r in the command line as per Option2
Run these in safe mode and the sfc often best run for two to three runs – you can leave out the /r switch in ckdsk if you feel it not necessary
If these come up no issues then we might have to run a memtest but before that can you make sure evrything is seated properly and any crud cleaned out.
Now you mention that you found what appeared to be compound in the CPU socket just what did it look like and who did the compound last?? Plus whatever it was how did you clean it out?
