Computer cleaning

It is a much overlooked area of computer maintenance but a very important one
It is essential to keep your computer cool. This is why there are fans inside your computer both on the processor and additionally in the outer case
These fans also draw dirt, dust, hair and other foreign bodies into the machine which block the air flow and cause the system to overheat and in extreme cases catch fire(very rare)

Dirty computers are detrimental to your computer's health. By keeping your computer clean you can prolong the life by years and maintain performance levels.

One of the most common problems that computer users face is having their computer crash. Crashing can be caused by many things, but one of the most common is system overheating. Think of your computer as a small but powerful vacuum cleaner that is on all of the time.

Even though it does not move around the room, it manages to suck up every speck of dust, dirt, hair and smoke particles from the immediate vicinity. As the air flows though the computer (from inlets in the front to outlets in the back, all of that material gets deposited on the internal parts of the system.

The result of this action can be seen in the picture below. Our customer called saying that their computer was freezing, hanging, locking up, crashing, and blue screening with no apparent cause. Once we had it in for repair, the problem became obvious - years of build-up were causing the system to overheat and fail

Therefore, we recommend an annual preventative maintenance check on all our customer computers to clean them out, including filters where fitted and make sure that they are correctly patched, have current virus updates, and are in top condition. The money spent on this is trivial, when compared to the cost and inconvenience of permanent data loss from a cooked computer system.
