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.
