Did your laptop recently got plenty of blue screen of death? slow performance? overheat?

That might be because of the internal part of your laptop is dirty and full of dust. The dust in the internal part of your laptop can cause the laptop to overheat and cause slow in performance and resulting to blue screen of death.

What is the blue screen of death? Here is an example of blue screen of death:-

Since dust have the property of blocking air flow and causing an increase of the level of temperature, it can cause the laptop to go overheat. The dust usually will be collected in the fan since fan is used to push out the hot air inside the laptop. When the dust cover it, the air flow will be block.

How the dust can block the air flow from inside the laptop? The Pic 2 below will explain how the dust block the air flow.

The solution to this problem is that have your laptop's internal part been clean. To get better performance, do clean your laptop's internal part for one time per year but it is recommended to clean it twice per year.

Update (15 Mac 2015) - There is one more thing that I forgot to mention which is about replacing thermal paste. It is better to change the thermal paste once per year to ensure that laptop performance is in good shape. What is the Thermal Paste? Its a paste that been use to transfer heat from processor to heat pipe efficiently and make the processor much more cooler.
