Cleaning the dust in my PC. WHEA error.
1Lately my Intel i7-3770 started to act weird. First a couple of BSODs happened while running a virtual machine or when rendering videos. Tried several different software, so it was not the software. Then recently I started playing with Cyberpunk 2077, which made all these problems more often. Yes, I've read about this game and its crashes on most of the computers, but it has past about a year since their initial release, which was followed by a lot of patches. Started investigating a bit, then found a magical abbreviation, called WHEA, which stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture. The Windows Event Viewer was full with WHEA errors, especially when the game has crashed.
Later found a program, called OCCT, which can test the CPU. I said, it worth a try. Started the test, and after some minutes, the WHEA errors started to show up. Then BSOD (blue screen of death). I read somewhere that dust is bad and it can cause short circuit when it catches humidity. So, let's give it a try and do some dust cleaning.
In the meantime listen to Aaron Kenny's English Country Garden, then to Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
