Man's greatest enemy. How I shall miss the first server to make a bid for freedom. This is local papers view:</p> <p>The dust pellet flew in from the side vent. Time stopped. The only sound was the intake of air from the fan, and the sickening crack as the pellet came into contact with its victim. Small pieces of chips and silicon exploded from its rear, as the pellet carved a hole in its casing. The Server lurched in a sharp movement, breaking its motherboard, as the pellet ejaculated from his keyboard jack at the back, causing another hole. It stood there for a second, the energy flowing from its wound. It shutdown its main settings, took one last breath, fell to its side, forward, and off the desk, his top collided with the ground and he was gone."</p> <p>xD - sorry just for a laugh.</p> <p>--<br /> Mike </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/graphics-card#post-2693 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:53:27 +0000 Scott 2693@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Dust kills more computers than viruses, power surges, etc. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/graphics-card#post-2692 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:49:12 +0000 michael 2692@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yeah - you can also buy a can of compressed air to clean them out.</p> <p>--<br /> Mike </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/graphics-card#post-2687 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:25:00 +0000 besidog 2687@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Having had my computer to bits recentley i was amazed at the amount of crap and dust that had collected in the cooling fans and fins....... i would check that any fans you have inside are working and clean them out..... it could just be overheating. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/graphics-card#post-2573 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 07:50:56 +0000 michael 2573@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Right.
