Guys, I am using my computer with a processor AMD Athlon x4 2.8 GhZ which I am using it for about 4 days without thermal paste unknowingly and the last day I used it was 8 hours straight yesterday.
I don't know why CMOS and a slower DRAM was always asking me every time I'd on my computer and I was a bit anxious that is why I asked my friend, he said it might been like that because I don't have a thermal paste. I asked my brother earlier and he said he cleaned the thermal compound on the processor without replacing it. I've been reading a lot here in Google and I'm worried how far could be the damage in my desktop. So far, it seems to running normally and I can still watch movies. As I said, I used it 8 hours straight the last time. I now bought a new thermal paste and I'll be applying it quickly.
What I searched said that it is certainly damaged and cannot run for an hour without thermal compound while some sources said I can run my cpu for a year without any thermal paste.
In any case, do you think there is already a damage on my computer, is it already broken?
What could you say, anything in mind about my CPU?
Can't speak fluent filipino. Need expert advices please.
