Best Posts in Thread: How wrong I was ( not listening to Advice!)

Whilst i am no stranger to the computer, learning stuff with on board computers when they were introduced to our Air craft whilst in the RAF, since may years after this I have always had a PC but I am certainly no Techy.
basically like a Driver (or an up front crew member I know how to input but like I guess so many we know how to Drive it or how to fly it but as to a Computer and most machines, I have no idea how or Why it Works,

Recently I started a Thread on Dust in the PC, I paid lip service only to the Advice given and Tuesday Morning paid the price. My motherboard warning sirens and notice was something I had never seen before. a little like an Imminent Engine failure Warning on an Aircraft

It told me I was fast approaching the danger Temperature and it would now close me down. 80+o
I took the Tower to the Dining Room and put it on a White Sheet, My Goodness what a mess.
3 hours later I had it Cleaned up re installed and ready to Go, Wrong! It would not reboot, it had gone into power saving mode and would not Start up.
After a while after, having contacting those I needed to and asking help from a very good Friend to help contacting the one person I was actually in the middle of sending a PM to when I crashed I decided to take the tower to town for a check up. the Answer was No cant do anything,

Apparently this has happened before ( Which I did not know about)
my Wife said to bring it to the Office and the IT department will sort it.
I got the Tower back late yesterday Afternoon and the Problem was compacted Dust on the processor and other areas of the motherboard.
We are up and running now and it is Brilliant, temperature is now at 40o
PHEW! So my friends, it was I that asked for help and I did not heed the Advice given My BAD!

Thank You all that answered me and I will Admit I was totally Stupid on this issue.

MORAL: Keep your Tower Clean and Dust Free
