Computer Motherboard Cleaning
Motherboard is the main part of your computer that contains all hardware
components. Your computer motherboard could fry, if you do not keep it clean on
periodically basis. Dust is the main cause to heat up your system and heat link
to hardware failure. You can save your computer maintenance cost if you clean
your computer on the regular basis. This will improve the cooling and
performance of the motherboard components.
To clean your motherboard first unplugs your system power from the electrical
outlet.
Using the screwdriver remove the side covers of your computer case and put them
to one side.
Check all data and power cables connections. Inspect all motherboard PCI and AGP
slots.
Remove all add-on card of your motherboard for example RAM, modem, VGA, sound
card and LAN card.
Now blow the air around all the motherboard sides and keeping away your blower
nozzle 4 to 5 inches away from main board components. You can use vacuum cleaner
also for this purpose but compressed air is the better solution to clean a
system.
At the end assemble back all cards, cables and side covers of your system.
I recommend you doing this after every three months if you want to save your
system life
