Computer Failure, Epic Reason: Dust

From the past few weeks, my system was crashing and giving all sorts of memory errors. I seem to have found the cause. A few days before, when I cleaned up the computer with a compressor, the errors decreased.

But, sadly, they haven’t fully vanished as my computer was completely assembled when I did the cleaning.

Tomorrow, after coming home from school, I will disassemble every single component of my computer, and clean it with compressed air and white petrol.

The reason for the accumulation of dust is maybe because my computer is open all the time due to the presence of an additional power supply. I think I should drill a hole in the case and pass the wires through it. Then, the case would be closed and the dust would be reduced while my system runs tip-top.

Perfect!
