Dust, the secret computer killer
by Rohit on Apr.19, 2009, under Computer Repair
Dust is one of the biggest reasons a computer can’t preform at its best. A computer generates a lot of heat, especially the processor. When the processor reaches a certain temperature, the computer will shut itself down. I’ve seen computers that can’t stay on for more than 30 seconds before the heat is too much. The culprit is all of the dust built up inside the computer. Dust’s number one enemy? Compressed Air. More after the jump.

They will be fragmented into pieces and written to the disk wherever there is room. After a while, this makes looking for files slower because it has to search through the entire hard drive for the pieces of the file.
