It is one of those things that could happen, but they rarely do. Especially if your carefull, and minimize the risk.

I use an electric duster about once every three months.
You and I both know that the odds you used in your examples are far lower than the odds of using anything generating a strong static charge is to damaging electronic components. That's a fact. It's a stupid thing to do, and while a lot of the time you won't harm anything, it's a common risk that does occur.

How do you clean the dusty motherboards from dusty fans and all that?
what do you do?
Use a canned air to blow it off or leave it?

just use the canned air, its fine to blow anywhere. Before u open your case, its a good idea to touch something metal so you don't shock any components. If you want to clean the fan itself, you can spray it with canned air, but its a good idea to hold the fan in place so it doesn't ruin the motor.

I have cleaned my computer before with a duster twice and I had a look inside, nothing looks loose or bad[I did most of the dusting on the case around the parts]. I'll try using compressed air next time ;)

Can someone please explain for my dad why I need to clean my case on occasions.

So your system don't overheat due to massive piles of dust building up in all the heatsinks and so your fans don't burn up from being clogged with dust.

Yeah, thats something you should always do any time your messing around in your computer. Before you clean it out, unplug it, press and hold the power button for a few seconds, then touch something metal.

Espcially the case fans. I've seen peoples entire air intakes covered in dust, and the fans struggle to take in enough air to keep the inside of the case cool.

I don't get it...
So you're saying that I would get an electric shock after I clean my system and touch something?? :confused::confused:

Ruin my motor? how?? Aye?? :confused::confused::confused:

I should just try calling the Computer Professional. They would teach me / show me how to do it and help a bit more :naughty::nodding:=P;):p:)

If too much dust builds up on your system, it can cause the various dust-covered parts to overheat.
