Problem: security alerts and connection error

AI Thread Summary
After cleaning the CPU fan, issues arose with security certificate alerts when accessing various websites, including Yahoo, indicating a problem with SSL encryption and untrusted certificate authorities. This suggests potential changes in browser settings or trust configurations rather than a direct link to hardware cleaning. Additionally, a connection error occurred while trying to use Google Talk, raising questions about authentication credentials. The discussion highlights the importance of verifying network settings and suggests performing a memory test to rule out hardware issues. Users are advised to consider using a Linux Live CD for troubleshooting further, as the problems seem coincidental rather than directly caused by the fan cleaning.

just after cleaning its CPU fan because of its noise...when a open many sites and navigate and when i login to any site (it happenned 3 times while signing into yahoo), a security alert says "information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate." and it also says "the security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust..." and asks: "do you want to proceed?"...while signing into google talk, a connection error come "Could not authenticate to server."...but as i said that this problem accurred suddenly after some hardware cleaning...also when i turned the pc on, after cleaning the fan, some unnormal things came on but i started windows normally, and will scanning disk after restarting, scanning phase 2 cannot start and it stays 0% all the time!
can anybody help me please

Do a memory test - www.memtest.org
If it really is to do with opening the machine ( and not just a concidence )
 
Is this on a company network? Or your personal home internet connection.
 
The certificate question is to do with SSL encryption keys, and nothing to do with your Fan. Its a coincidence that the two happened after one another.
When you surf to a site with https://... means that (in lay mans terms) you are creating a encrypted session with the web server, for this to happen some companies use a 3rd party Encryption Certificate service, such as verisign. The message you received is because you probably have changed some settings saying you do not wish to trust one of the certificate service providers.

As for googletalk, did you change your password, or perhaps you have entered the wrong username?

I could be wrong, and anything is possible, but I seriously doubt cleaning a fan will have an effect on your googletalk account, considering your googletalk credentials are kept on a google server nowhere near your PC. Unless of course you are actually a sysadmin for Google :smile:
 
yes I'm a sysadmin for google...don't you know?:smile:...i did the memory test, but it took more than 3 hours so i stopped it without let it finish!...yes i expected that it's a coincidence that this problem occurred after i cleaned the fan...but not only the problem faces me while sighning into google, but as i said before it happens many many times with different sites, ex. the error came 3 times while logging into yahoo...it's a home network consistes of a router, to desktop computers and a laptop...so i still have the problem, can you help me?
 
Try a Linux Live CD.
 
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
