Explanation
OS performance being slow, the workstation turning off randomly, and loud fan noises are often indicative of overheating issues. When the CPU (Central Processing Unit) overheats, it can lead to reduced system performance as the processor throttles itself to prevent damage. Additionally, the system may shut down unexpectedly to prevent heat-related damage. Loud fan noises could indicate that the system's cooling mechanism is working hard to dissipate
