Today I took my tower system outside and used a can of air to blow the dust out of the inside. It really was bad :( but looks better now. We often use all different types of software to do maintenance on our system and forget to blow the dust out until something melts down from too much dust.

Any other PC maintenance ideas or thoughts welcome.

reseat ALL slots regularly, I do mine every 2 months, and use a pencil eraser to remove oxidation from the contacts.

I jus do what KC does, with a couple of input fans all my human remains get sucked in! LOL! :)

Not thought of deoxidising the contacts, just CBB (Cant Be Bothered) I'll wait till something goes wrong.

@Empty : Strike 2
It seems like your post's lives up to your nick ;)
No need to quote others post, just to show your sig..

It seems the user Empty ment this posting to be flame. :furious:

After all if you look at the properties of his picture:

:huh: Seems you told on yourself. No question in my mind what this post was done for. It was nothing more than an INSULT!

EDIT ~ @GSD, I see you have been a user for sometime now and don't post too often. I thank you for your reply here and it's far from an obvious PC maintenance trick for most of us. As you can see from Bearcat's post, Empty has not gone unseen. I welcome your future replies on BetaONE.

Thanks to all of you who continue to keep this a family friendly board, something rare on the web today. B)

Me?! Insulting?! No way!!!!! Ask zone, i'm lovable!

Then try and show it in the forums then. :spam:

Where is the love...:P

But seriously, thanks for the pointer zo.
And empty, get with it. ;)

I'm always with it

But what you appear to be "with" is alot of self-absorption.

And you came so highly reccomended as well. Your posts are now moderated and will not be seen by the public if they are in the least annoying. Have a nice day, whilst we have a quieter one :)

Due to the fact user Empty clearly broke rule:

3. BetaONE is a family friendly board. Members should NOT post racist, sexist, homophobic, or in general, derogatory comments. There is NO flaming on BetaONE! Period!

I'm going to take the picture posted out of this section!

Well, going back to the Thread Topic for a minute...

As far as software maintaince, its probably a good idea to list some of the most IMPORTANT ones here also...
Here's my regular routine:

Window Washer
Internet history Remover
Steganos Internet History trace eraser
Evidence eliminator
Norton Anti Virus Full Scan
SpyBot
Spyware Remover
Trojan Remover
Norton System works System Check

Plus, at least once a week, a full Defrag with O&O Professional..

Call me paranoid, but this is about Safety and security...

Also, behind a Router, and running software firewall.....




wase4711 :P :D

Empty, don't flame, you don't want to aggravate the poor betaone admin do you?!
