Hi there
I opened my case and noticed that the stock fan and heat sink had some dust on it so I decided to clean it. Prior to cleaning, the processor was running just fine.
After i cleaned off and reapplied the thermal paste on the processor and reinstalled it, the warning beeping sound came on and the temperature on the processor spiked to around 75 celcius. I removed the proc and the heat sink and made sure everything was fine and reinstalled it again and still the temps are high. In fact when i launch any application, the temps spike and the beeping sounds starts going off.
Any idea what's going on, did I miss something? Attached is the link Core Temp readings, it looks as though the proc throttled itself down to reduce the temperature.
