Dust Can Slow Down Your PC
Do you know that dusts are also one of the causes of PC slowdowns?. Dust can also cause more damage than just slowing down your PC. Dust can cause overheating of the electric components of your PC. When there is too much dust inside your PC, the components gets too hot easily that can lead to burn components or your PC will not run as fast and effective as it should. When PC components gets hot they stop working, Your computer locks and everything freezes up on your screen. Dust eventually builds into rust that destroys components.
To avoid those those troubles you have to clean the inside of your PC just like you have to dust your house. The best way to remove the dust inside your PC is to used Canned Compressed Air to blow out the inside of your PC. Before doing any cleaning job make sure that you first unplug the computer from the power source. Open your PC case then take it outside. Blow out all dusts and make sure to blow out the CPU and all the fans you see. It is advisable to do this about every 6 months but if you do not have a close room with airconditioning system you should do this at least once a month. Household cleaners should not be used as they can damage the circuit boards inside your PC. If you don’t have a Canned Compressed Air you can alternatively use a paint brush to remove the dust from your PC.

Don’t forget to mention that smokers have it way worse. In a smokers home all the tar collects on the computer components and causes the dust to stick. If you get in a situation where you cant get the compressed air to move the dust, sometimes you have to get a rag and q-tips and use Denatured Alchohol to wipe down all the components that you can.

Unfortunately cleaning laptop as well as opening it is not easy as desktop. It has a more delicate procedure. If your Laptop is still under warranty I don’t recommend cleaning it by yourself because it will void any warranty even if you didn’t tear up the stickers, I suggest you to bring it to your dealer and ask to them to clean it for you. If warranty is not an issue you can start by opening and cleaning the heatsink because that is the one that acquires more dust, Use soft cloth and rubbing alcohol in cleaning your LCD don’t use tissue paper cause it may scratch your screen.
Your tips are amazing
thanks so much… always keeps me comong back for more
