Last day of april

Spring cleaning!

Your fan it pulls in air for cooling and then blows it out.

And, along with that air comes dust.

To clean:

  1. Unplug the case and open it up
  2. Using a can of compressed air (available at your local office supply store), blow the dust out of the computer
  3. Or use your vacuum cleaner in the blow out mode

New computers watch the CPU's temperature and have thermal cutoffs — if the CPU gets too hot, the computer will shut down without warning!

Blow the dust out of the power supply, too.

Hint: take the computer outside to blow it out.

Do not touch the componets with the vacuum cleaner, just blow out the dust!
