Recenty i had big problems with the dust in my computer as the processesor overheated.In any game in 5 minute was over 60 degrees.I bought some sylicon paste and took kare of the processor but i ran into another problem,i took out the ram modules to clean them and as i couldn't clean the ram slots i mounted them back in.But the Computer would not start,i new it was the ram so i dissmembered the pc again to fix the problem.I had over 20 atempt and it would not start because of the dust and my vacuum cleener was not strong enought.The rescue camed from a friend who brought me a small brush.I cleaned the slots and started the first time.I was left without a computer for 5 hours in witch my pulse and blood presure jumpt to max.
Have any of you had some similar problems ?

Your problem is a common one, you're actually very lucky that that's all that happened.
Dust can also be used as a conductor. And could actually by just static arch fry out your hard drive, or components.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to not only clean your computer with your anti virus and such, but also INSIDE the tower itself.
NEVER touch any components inside, unless you are grounded to something.
Go out and buy a can of compressed AIR. and spray out your computer.

i had a simular problem not so long ago and was trying to find a way to clean out my fan without having to take the whole thing apart. i discovered that at most computer shops they sell cans of air. now this may sound a bit silly and like a scam cause anyone can sell air lol, but it does work. its basically a can of pressurised air that you can use to clean out your fan and remove a lot of the dust.
