Let Your PC Run Cooler
We all know that heat will reduce the overall life of a PC. Over time, dust and pet hair is collected inside the PC basically forming a small 'blanket' on many components (including the cooling fan) and potentially overheating reducing the equipment life. Solution: buy a can of compressed air and carefully shut down your PC, remove the power supply, open the case and (while not touching any internal components with your hands or body) gently blow out accumulated dust. Now, I recently learned (who would have guessed) that a laptop is exposed to the same issues. See before and after photos of my laptop.

Your laptop will run quieter and cooler with this simple 5 minute maintenance task. Check the photos for my before and after conditions and my technology hints page for more tips. http://boginsolutions.blogspot.com/
