When my computer seems to be running slow or making a weird, grinding type of noise, the first thing I do is to check for dust on the fan / power intake area. In my experience, getting rid of the dust makes a huge difference in the computer performance.
Your computer fan serves as an intake device to cool off the computer and as a result, a bunch of dust collects in the circular vented area of your computer case, where the fan is located. As shown in the video below, you can easily get rid of the dust and dirt that collects there.
I have noticed that merely dusting the back of the computer this does not always do the trick. About once or twice a year, I open up my desktop computer casing and blow the dust out of it.
No matter how clean your office or computer room is, dust and dirt collection in your computer seems to be inevitable. Check the back of your computer once or twice a week and remove the dust. It makes a big difference in your computer performance.

What if you are using a laptop and you experience the same thing? Just asking. Because I don’t use my desktop anymore.
I use a “can of air” on my laptop, too. But I don’t take it apart. It doesn’t seem to collect the volume of dust that the desktop does.

Agreed. Once you allow dust to deposit on main parts of your computer, it won\’t allow the air to cool the system as a result our computer gets hot. I would recommend to clean your system regularly.
Yeah I agree. I had suffered a lot due to dust. I bought my laptop 6 months back and it starts heating up and making noise after 3 month, mainly due to dust, as I never bothered to clean it.
