When we have a computer which we usually use frequently, there is a lot of care and concern that we put into it, so that everything works correctly.
In general, one of the most common situations is when it begins to heat up to the point that the dreaded blue screen begins to occur, in which our PC can suffer various damages at the operating level.
A computer, which suffers from some type of overheating, generally runs slowly and causes discomfort to its user. Within this post we want to expose you to various solutions, which will help you refresh your PC or, failing that, avoid such situations.
However, take into account that the recommendations that we place here are oriented more strongly to fixed equipment and some others can be adapted to laptops.
Try to use your computer in a ventilated space
This is one of the main recommendations when using a PC, be it a desktop or a laptop, since in this way, prevent it from getting hot, however, take into account the following recommendations, which will help you:
- Make sure that there is a free space around the case of your PC, of at least 10cm, especially in the back, since that is where the power supply is usually located. Likewise, it is important that you leave a small space between the sides, since in this way all the air can circulate well in case your PC has two fans.
- You can also try that the case of your PC is not inside a cabinet, since this will take up space for the ventilation to run naturally.
- If you have a laptop, try as much as possible not to use it on your legs.
Dust could hamper your equipment
One of the main factors of a PC that overheats is that it has a large amount of dust due to lack of maintenance or cleaning. One of the most important things in all of this is to clean your PC of any type of hair, dust or things that adhere to the fan blades at all times.
Something that you must be very clear about is that when doing this cleaning, you must turn off your PC and then unplug it so as not to run any kind of risks when cleaning the fans.
The task of cleaning, you can carry out with various elements; A cloth, brush or even some specialized equipment will help you solve any type of problem that concerns dust.
Likewise, in various stores around the world and on the web, you can find specialized products for this task, such as sprays, which have compressed air, which are specific in order to clean the dust without any problem.
Although they are very effective, you must be attentive to the use you give them, since they can be very harmful to your health, in addition to being so powerful, they can tear off any component that is inside the plate and from it way to spoil it.
However, we recommend that this process be guided by an expert, who knows the tools to use and who, in the same way, guides you step by step, so that you can do it yourself in future opportunities.
These cleanings can be done every 3 or 5 months, depending on how you see how your device behaves, everything in this case is aimed at ensuring that your team works optimally.
