This is not a bag of a vacuum machine even if it looks as dirty, those photos show computers requested to be maintained by our clients.
- PC performance issues due to dust
Components covered in dust run much hotter than they were designed to, and the computers central processing unit (CPU) could start to throttle its performance. Throttling is a method used to prevent the CPU from over heating, the computers performance drops significantly for no apparent reason. The computer becomes slow and unresponsive, similar to virus or malware activity. Some CPU’s don’t utilize throttling and simply shut off, or Windows crashes displaying a blue screen once they begin to overheat.
- Dirty fans are loud
Computers with really dirty fans are louder than normal due to the fans having to run at higher speeds in order to cool the components. If your computer has gotten louder over time it is not because it is getting older, it is most likely due to dust and dirt build up. If a computer is throttling or crashing it needs to be investigated. With desktops it is easy just open the case and take a look inside. Laptops are a bit harder and may need to be disassembled to thoroughly clean them. Either way just ignoring the warning signs can possibly lead to a complete system failure. A quick look inside can mean the difference between simply cleaning the PC, or possibly having to buy new parts, or even buying a new computer.
Just like a car over heating a PC will fire up and run again once it has had time to cool. However, once you turn it back on the cycle starts over again. Doing this over and over could potentially ruin the computer causing damage due to excessive heat. Not only potentially ruining the computer, but gradually corrupting the file system which may warrant reloading the operating system to repair the damage.
The CPU heatsink is almost completly plugged with dust that is hard like cardboard.
