Which of the following options would most likely be a cause for a computer system overheating?
Power supply failure
Bad RAM
Crashed hard drive
CPU fan failure
One of the most common causes of a system overheating is CPU fan failure. The CPU is one of the main components in a computer that produces a significant amount of heat, and its fan is critical for dissipating that heat to maintain safe operating temperatures. If the fan fails, the heat is no longer effectively removed, leading to a rapid increase in temperature, system instability, and potential hardware damage. While other components can fail or contribute to heat, a failed CPU fan is the most direct and likely cause of system-wide overheating among the choices provided.
