1. Clean Out Dust:

Open your PC case.
Use compressed air to blow dust out of your graphics card fans, CPU fan, and case fans. Dust traps heat!

2. Check All Fans:

Turn on your PC.
Visually check if all fans inside (GPU, CPU, case) are spinning. Replace any that aren't.

3. Ensure Good Airflow:

Don't block vents – keep your PC away from walls or tight spaces. Place your PC on a solid surface, not carpet.
Update Graphics Card Software (Drivers):

4.Update Graphics Card Software (Drivers):

Go to NVIDIA.com/drivers or AMD.com/drivers. Download and install the latest software (drivers) for your specific graphics card. This can help it manage heat better.
