So what is your preference? I have always been on the side of Air... The negative of AIO is blockage and leaks. With air you'll never have that. just dust. Blow it out and your done. I think that's pretty much basic. Air is the way to go for me. Argue my point.

Hello,
Since I have updated my Sony Vaio SVE1512P1EB laptop to Windows 10, several BSOD problems have occured. Most of the time it says 'Faulty hardware page corrupted' but sometimes a 'System thread exception not handled' error is given. A couple of days ago it also said 'Memory management'...

When I turn on my hp all in one, it comes to a black screen, and I don't know why, the fan runs good
Things I tried:
Taking the case off and getting rid of dust
Ok, so about 2 hours ago I was playing M&B Warband, and listening to some music. My computer then randomly shut down as I tabbed out, black screen, just figured my windows crapped out or whatever. Power still running, fans still going, just black screen. So I shut it down by holding down power...
I just cleaned my PC, again and it caused me to talk about this, again & yes, I know it is, again, but, that is just OK.
I do this periodically and on a regular basis... and everyone should. I feel it is good to mention this, again, as I believe many, if not too many people don't make it...

Electronics and certainly PCs do not like heat. It is important that these devices stay cool @ all times and throughout their lifetime. That said, here is one of those "Best Practice" things that I suggest all too often does not even occur to people and that they do not think about or do on...

Running Windows 7 in a RAID 0, and periodically I will get a boot failure error with the message No default or UI configuration directive found. This usually happens if I do some kind of heavy maintenance on my system. For example I might remove my graphics card or cpu cooler to blow the dust...
Hey guys!
For years, I always had a compressed can of air which I use to clean my PC about once a week. I'm looking to get an electrical air compressor (which would save lots of money) and was wondering if you guys can suggest cheap ones that get the job done. These are 2 I saw for under $100...
Most of us try and keep our machines cleaned periodically from dust and all that. I just retired last year as a heavy machinist where a lot of the work is cast iron. They used a lot of low end Windows NT and 95 desktops and some lasted for 10-15 years with no maintenance. They were always on and...

Hi
My win 7 quad core PC suddenly started shutting down without warning yesterday. I thought this might be temperature related so downloaded a small utility to monitor fan speeds and CPU temps. I was amazed to see that when idling my intel CPU was up about 50C and when I gave the PC anything...
