Last night, I started having serious computer trouble here and came to within 90 SECONDS of the live radio show before I was able to get the audio feeds up and running. This morning, these troubles re-surfaced, and we figured out it is a CPU Over-temperature problem. Apparently, the thermal paste on the CPU needs re-pasting, or my AMD Ryzen chip overheats and shuts down.
I can't do this, my son can, but he's at work.
So I when I finally got the machine to re-start, I went into the BIOS and put all the rack fans and computer chassis fans on MAXIMUM, I put the CPU performance down to energy-saving, to reduce its power consumption and speed, which will hopefully help it run cooler, then opened the front doors to the rack-mounted computer to hopefully improve air flow, and placed a small oscillating desk fan in the front of the rack to physically blow more air into it.
What a pain in the butt!
What all this nonsense converts to is that today, I am up and I am down. Repeatedly.
I will do the best I can with what I have as the day progresses.
