Ok, I thought that it would be a good idea to try and fix our oldish pc a few months back. So, I took it apart and left it in the corner of my room. Stupid I know. It already had thick layers of dust covering the memory, motherboard etc, and now it has even more. I have fumbled about with it every now and then quite carelessly. Again, I was stupid, but its old so I didnt care too much.
Anyway, how much care should I take to cleaning the memory and motherboard etc?
Does it matter if I get a small, fine unused paint brush and brush the dust away?
Also, I have taken the heatsink away from the processor. There is a hard residue left on the core, from the special thermo cream or whatever it is I suppose. Can I just apply more cream? Or do I need to try and get rid of the residue?
Please help! Any suggestions!!!
Thank you very much!
ps Im not usually this careless. Its just an old pc which has been haunting me for weeks and I have little patience for it!lol
