Dirty Computer?


Sometimes a dirty computer can cause the dreaded blue screen of death. Clogged CPU or Cooling fans can cause the system to over heat this can result in blue screens or the system just shutting down. Turn off the computer open the side and gently blow out the CPU, Power Supply and other areas that need attention. Cans of air can be used never tilt the can because water from the condensed air will flow out.
