The fan on a home computer should run constantly to keep everything cool. Fans will typically adjust their speed based on temperatures, but only turn off when the computer goes to sleep or is shut down.

Can tower cases cause my computer to overheat?

How do you stop a computer from overheating My computer has 3 fans a chasis fan a power suply fan and a power fan i cannot do simple tasks and the computer overheats and shuts down please help?

you must only use your computer for only 3-4 hours so that you can prevent over heating You could if you know anything about the components of computers clean all the fans of dust and dirt with a hoover, but be as gentle as possible. this should be done at least once a year. and if you have more than one fan attached to a computer insted of the fan bolwing out hot air it then changes to a vacume taking in the heat making it overheat faster


What is the purpose of a computer fan?

A tower fan is a fan that sits in a computer tower and serves as the main cooling mechanism. The computer tower is the main box of the computer that houses the motherboard, hard disks, CD drives, and other internal components of the computer. When operating, computers can generate a lot of heat, so it is important to keep the components cool for better performance and longer life.


I recently took my computer to a computer store to have the fan fixed and when i got back home with the hard drive i plugged it back in and when i got on it everything was really big how do i fix it?
