How to Fix: CPU overheating and I can't figure out why

CPU overheating can be caused by a variety of factors, including dust buildup, poor airflow, and inadequate cooling systems. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the computer's cooling system can help resolve this issue.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:

1. Step 1: Clean Dust from the CPU and Fans: Use compressed air to gently blow away dust from the CPU, fans, and heat sinks. Be careful not to touch any electrical components.
2. Step 2: Check and Clean Air Filters: Inspect and clean or replace the air filters in your computer case to ensure proper airflow. Dirty air filters can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
3. Step 3: Apply Thermal Paste (if necessary): If you have a CPU cooler with thermal paste, apply a small amount to the CPU die (the top surface of the CPU). Make sure it's evenly spread out and not too thick.
