Keep it clean



Sometimes you might just have dirty components?



If your pc keeps crashing or not even booting, and you do not/can't afford to get rid Just yet try this simple thing first. Tools required: Star headed screw driver, Soft paint brush and a hoover

Many people think of program maintenance tools such as Scan disk and disk deframenter, But did you know that dust can also STOP your computer?

Static build up is a common problem with computers. You probably dust your house at the very least once per week,but how often do you dust your computer?

Green Machines advise that you clean the internal workings with a clean soft paintbrush to loosen any dirt/dust and then gently hoover the inside of the machine (with the hose attachment)at least once every six months, Or else your computer could look like this (Genuine donated PC)

Below you may just be able to see how the dust has gathered on the cards inside the machine (look Carefully)
