The speed and the performance of microprocessors increase with the release of new processor. Besides this, every microprocessor has its own limitation. To keep the system up-to-date and to remove the limitations of the microprocessor, we must upgrade the microprocessor. To upgrade a microprocessor, we replace the microprocessor in the system with a new compatible microprocessor.
Troubleshooting microprocessor techniques solve the problems that arise due to the improper functioning of the microprocessor. The general problems that arises from the microprocessor are overheating and slow processing.
Overheating
A microprocessor produces heat while processing the data. The microprocessor also overheats when it is performing beyond the recommended speed. Overheating can cause permanent damage to the microprocessor. Adequate cooling devices, such as a processor fan must be installed to cool down the microprocessor.To solve the problem of overheating :
1. Check that the processor fan is installed and functioning properly.
2. Check the jumper settings on the motherboard and the BIOS settings to see that the microprocessor is not overclocked.
3. Check that the voltage supplied by the motherboard is compatible with the microprocessor.
4. Check the motherboard manual to see that the motherboard supports the microprocessor.
Slow Processing
The microprocessor generally runs slow if there is some fault within it. A microprocessor can also run slow if the speed settings are not correct or due to some other fault in the system. To solve the problem of slow processing :
1. Check if the vendor has supplied the correct microprocessor.
2. Check if the microprocessor supports the applications that are running.
3. Scan the computer for viruses.
4. Check the jumper settings on the motherboard and the BIOS settings of the microprocessor.
5. Troubleshoot the RAM.
