How To Prevent Your Desktop PC From Overheating

Does your computer prompt you with messages such as CPU over temperature? Or while using your PC, can you hear the sound of your fan working harder than it should? If so, then this is a sign that some very simple maintenence needs to be done. This article will show you how and will help to keep your computer running smoothly during operation. It contains some very simple instructions on how to do this. 

Inside every desktop computer is a CPU (Central Processing Unit). On top of this device is a fan that keeps the CPU cool while you use the computer. However, over some time the fan and the grills below it will get clogged with dust and dirt. The only way to remove this is to manually extract it from inside the computer.
Below are the instructions on how to do it.

1) Turn off your PC and unplug it from the mains.
2) Unlock and take off the side cover of the unit.

The inside should look something like this. In this display many of the components have been taken out with the exception of the fan.



3) Using the correct screwdriver that fits the screw heads, remove all four screws.
4) Carefully lift the fan out of place and clean the rota blades with a dry cloth until clear of dust and dirt.
5) Do the same for the grills by gently brushing away and blowing out the dust.
6) Once this is done, replace the fan back on top of the grills and reinsert the four screws.
7) Put the cover back onto the unit securely and turn on the PC.

Outcome: Your computer should now be whisper quiet, and running smoothly without the interferring sound of the fan. There should not be anymore CPU messages popping up on your screen. However, if there is, then you may need to refresh your memory (DIMM modules) or invest in new memory for your system. These are inexpensive nowadays, but that may also depend on the type of memory your computer needs.

Fog in London: Strange Weather Patterns

What has been causing the recent weather changes in the atmospher?

Since the summer, the weather has not been as predictable as one might believe.



 There has been some strange weather patterns in London this year. The summer months were not as hot as it had been predicted prior to the season. There was no more than just a handful of days where the weather was at it's best, but most of the time people were found wearing their Autumn best rather than their summer time wear.
Just towards the end of November, we had widespread dense fog settled over the country. London was a major interest spot as many people commute to and from London every day as well as inner city working individuals using London transport or other alternatives. The fog was so bad, those who drove into work were advised to leave their vehicles at home or not to travel at all if it wasn't necessary. Even air travel was cancelled in case of a midair collision. During the fog, there were suspicions from some members of the public that the presents of the fog was down to Chem-trails being sprayed out of airplanes that fly high up in the sky above the clouds. It is visible to see that there has been a lot more of this activity in the air than in previous years, but whether or not this changes the course of the weather is yet to be considered.

Soon after the fog, London was experiencing rather warm weather patterns so close to December. It's as if it's all happening in reverse. Some have predicted hot days to come over the festive season, but now that we are in December, the bitterly cold weather has definitely set in and has been rife. With this in mind and the sight of seeing people once again wearing padded clothing, it seems thing may be going back to normal after-all.
