データセンターの技術者が、クラッシュし続けるサーバーのトラブルシューティングを試みています。サーバーは約 5 分間正常に動作しますが、その後クラッシュします。サーバーを稼働状態に戻すと、同じサイクルが繰り返されます。技術者は、構成が変更されておらず、サーバーの負荷が電源投入からクラッシュまで安定していることを確認します。問題を解決する可能性が最も高いのは、次のうちどれですか?
正解:C
Explanation
The most likely solution to resolve the issue of the server crashing after running normally for approximately five minutes is to reinstall the heat sink with new thermal paste. A heat sink is a device that dissipates heat from a component, such as a processor or a graphics card, by transferring it to a cooling medium, such as air or liquid. A heat sink is usually attached to the component using thermal paste, which is a substance that fills the gaps between the heat sink and the component and improves thermal conductivity. Thermal paste can degrade over time and lose its effectiveness, resulting in overheating and performance issues. If a server crashes after running for a short period of time, it may indicate that the processor is overheating due to insufficient cooling.
To resolve this issue, the technician should remove the heat sink, clean the old thermal paste, apply new thermal paste, and reinstall the heat sink.
