Overheating and thermal shutdown
Why it happens here
Greenspoint's humid summers and dusty apartments cause cooling fans to clog. When airflow is blocked, the console overheats and shuts down to prevent damage. This is especially common in units near the North Sam Houston Tollway where construction dust is present.
Our approach
We disassemble the console, clean the heatsink and fan with compressed air and an ultrasonic cleaner, and replace the thermal paste with a high-performance compound. We then test under load to ensure it stays cool.
