Vostro 3468 hanging on slightest activity

Hi All,

I have a vostro dell 3648,

i7 - 7th gen

8 GB Ram

500 HDD in my caddy of CDROM

128 GB adata SSD as main boot drive

I just installed a fresh windows 10 and when ever I do slightly heavy work, fans starts to run at full throttle and system just hangs; can't do anything expect for the power button shutdown.

By slightest I mean opening a youtube video etc.

what could be the issue here? how can I diagnose it? Kindly guide.

Regards

That sounds like a heat problem. Try cleaning the vents and pull the bottom cover, carefully, and gently clean out the fan and other components.

@JanGli​ Have  you tried running diagnostics (F12 immediately at boot) as there may be problems with the fan and that would certainly cause heat issues.
