Cleaning my computer?

I use my small air-compressor with the air nozzle on it to spray the crap outta my keyboard and dust out of my computer. I'm sure you know someone who has one you can borrow for an hour.

I think overheating is not the problem of dust.Check the cpu fan.If it is not working relace it.Some times the BIOS is not properly configured for cpu temperature creates more heat.If you suspect dust for the problem,you can clean all the components inside your pc with a smooth brush.

Once a Month I open the Tower up and I get a Cotton bud and dust inside yes it takes time as you need to do every Fan I have 3 and get the dust of the bottom to but be very careful so you do not catch the Wires or anything

Uh oh- Have you tried dusting it? Make sure it is not in a corner and has proper ventilation? How about trying to use an air compressor? Just a thought- Not sure if it would work- I don’t think I have ever used the compressed air to clean mine- Not sure why it does not get dirty and over heat.

I usually take a vacuum to the fan part of my computer. If you have a shop vac they work wonders for cleaning them as they seem to have better suction power.

Hi Jolengreen, It is better to use a clean paint brush together with a vacuum cleaner. Paint brush to "sweep" dust off the surface, vacuum to "suck" up the dust, so that it won't land on other part of the computer.

If you have a hair dryer that blows cool air or even a small fan, you can use those. If you feel a bit more adventurous, you can use your vacuum cleaner (we have a friend who does this, he says it works better than the canned air).

I just usually vacuume clean mine all over once a week..

recently i went through an article about cleaning computers.it says that you can clean computer using a sponge soaked in dettol.i am not sure of it.i have not tried it also.

Before, like 2 or 3 years ago, I am also experiencing the same problem on my PC maintenance. So what I did was I bought a small vacuum cleaner and clean the inside of the CPU once or twice a month. The fan in the power supply is one of the important parts to clean since it is where the coolness of the entire system depends. But it would help if your workstation is inside an air conditioned room. The heating is reduced and the life of your system is prolonged for sure. Or dedicate a small fan towards you CPU, or, install additional fans inside but you need to ask for a knowledgeable computer technician to get get the right things done.
