Must be at least 90% or better alcohol content. Lower than 90% means it may have too much water in it and will not dry quickly or properly.

Hi again,

I finally manged to  purchase a new fan/heat sink from the US online,  and shipped it to KSA, then to Yemen.

However, now I don't have ISO alcohol. Also, I have not tried to purchased the two ISO alcohol from the US since I was afraid that even the fan/heat sink wouldn't be shipped. But I only tried as a test.

So, if I used the "surgical spirit" since this is the only thing found in Yemen, although I didn't see any alcohol  in the specification typed the cover of its bottle.

My questions are:

1- what would be happening if there is too much water in the alcohol content used on CPU and GPU to remove the remains of old thermal compound(I.e. if I tried to clean the old thermal compound with the "surgical spirit", what is the worst would be happening?)  

2- I read that "The United States Pharmacopeia defined 'isopropyl rubbing alcohol USP' contains approximately 70 percent by volume of pure isopropyl alcohol.[5] The United States Pharmacopeia defined 'rubbing alcohol USP' contains approximately 70 percent by volume of denatured alcohol.[6] In Ireland and the UK, the comparable preparation is surgical spirit B.P., which the British Pharmacopoeia defines as 95% methylated spirit, 2.5% castor oil, 2% diethyl phthalate, and 0.5% methyl salicylate"

3- I didn't find  Thermaltake TG4 in my own country.  ALL Thermal Compound solutions available in Yemen are like the one 'ZP-360' I have used before . So, if I applied the same thermal compound with the same way you mentioned previously ( 1 small bead in the center with 4 small beads in a square about half way to each edge of the CPU. )

Since you have no control over what happens, I can only conclude that the overheating has caused damage to your processor or other issues such as corruption of Windows.

A) Check the BIOS for thermal temperature monitoring settings.

B) Check your taskbar (right hand corner) for a quick launch icon that monitors CPU temperature.

C) Use Task Manager to check for any programs that run in the background that monitor CPU temperature.

(A) I checked the BIOS for thermal temperature monitoring settings, but I didn't find any. My BIOS as said before didn't have many options to be setup.

(C) I checked the for any programs that run in the Task Manager, but I didn't find any.

(B)I checked my taskbar, but there is no quick launch icon monitoring CPU.  Only this utility which is ON, but it cannot be setup to hibernate or inhbiratnet my notebook when overheating.(i.e. this utlity doesn't monitors CPU temperature. . It can be 'OFF and ON' to monitor the position of notebook)

So, I still   cannot disable, and enable that action of hibaration my Windows when my notebook is overheating if I want to do.

I don't think my Windows is hibernated when my Notebook  was overheating without setting up that  prior to overheating. However, the strange is there is no option can be set to disable/enable hibernation my notebook when overheating.

How do I know if my computer is overheating?

What do I do if my computer is overheating?

Thanks a lot,

Could you please understand me here?

I want to control over what action can be done when my notebook is overheating. It was hibernated without a permission/settings from me. I didn't know who what set it up to be hibernated when notebook is overheating.

2- if taping on my power button didn't help to unfreeze my notebook, then I only have one choice which is to hold down the power button on the keyboard?????????

I wish that all notebooks have a 'reset/restart' button along with 'power off/on' button on the keyboard which could be useful when my notebook gets frozen. 

Try pressing it down for one full second max.

Yo you don't think this pressing down for one full second max will result in shutting down my Notebook completely instead of unfreezing it. I wish that notebook had both the 'rest/restart', and power off/on buttons on the keyboard which would be useful in such cases if I don't want to shut down my computer, I would be pressing on the 'restart' button instead.

I don't know, again a BIOS setting OR Control panel power options setting may determine what happens when you press the power button.

Yes,  

1- I set it to 'sleep', but when I click a quick click on the power button.  But that don't mean that when I press on power button a quick click while my notebook is frozen , then it will unfreeze it.  So, if my notebook wasn't unfrozen when I press on the power button a quick click, what else can be done????? You think my notebook must be sleeping as long as it is setup even when it is frozen(no response at all)


2- I don't see that 'restart' can be selected as the action of pressing a quick click on the power button? Is it possible to be setup?

Then something in your hardware or internal to the CPU is causing this for safety reasons as your CPU is overheating.
