Q. My computer occasionally shuts down all by itself and I notice the rear of the case gets quite warm. What’s going on?
A. In a word - Dirt. Most computer users are aware that viruses and other malware are dangerous to their PC. Likewise, most people know they must keep up-to-date backups to prevent data loss. However, the greatest threat to the health and long life of a computer is... dirt, in the form of dust.
All computers have small fans that circulate cool air into the case and across warm components, to maintain low operating temperatures. This cool air also harbors dust which sticks to components like a magnet, gradually building up, reducing air flow and causing component failure. It's important to open the case at least every 6 months and blow out the dust with a can of compressed air that can be bought at any office or computer supply, or from Techbusters.
Do this regularly and your computer will run cooler and last longer. (Laptops too!)
