Take a clean, new paint brush, and gently wipe the inside clean. (not near jumpers though). I do this all the time. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Canned air doesn't remove the dust attached to the fan blades. Check the fans on the cpu and video card closely.

I was SHOCKED when I took off the cool graphical cover that covers my heatsink on my video card to find that the inside of the heatsink was clogged with dust!! I would have never seen that, had I not removed the tiny thin metal cover. (it uses tiny screws too). its save to remove. no worries there.

When I cleaned it, that lowered my video temps 10 degrees!!!!!!!!!!
