I have been having little comp issues for couple of weeks and I kept putting it off. Now I knew weeks ago. it was time to clean the dust out of the PC but kept putting it off. As a result while playing cod4 last night my comp overheated and packed up. So now I have to strip out every single part and clean it then re assemble it and hope no damage has been done.

Every year or so they blow compressed air through the internet to clear our dust and debris that accumulates in the lines, which forces it all out through the various devices attached to the Internet.
