Yeah but the key is it's INSIDE your tower/lappy you can't see that it is dirty until you open it -.-

who said that? side view panels anyone? I can dust my computer in under 1 min no problem.

Also a meter which measures electrical flow in multiple ways is handy.
Expensive...Borrow one? you could actually set the meter to resistence/capacitence<(some have cap. plugs just for caps.)
And measure all the caps then compare the results to the number it is supposed on the cap and replace which ones popped.

Sometimes a popped cap from too much heat or power or reversed polaritys can actually shoot up like pellet gun or something if it doesn't have a hole in top.

Cheaper very cheaper caps are inexpensive especially commonly used ones. But a meter if you don't know an electrician or related person is not.

some motherboards can show all that information from the operating system.

I can do almost everything I could in the bios, from vista using that. Though of course you need specific hardware to do so. (and doing stuff in the bios is always better I assume)

Uh atemu you do know the pics are of INSIDE a power supply unit, right?

Nice try mattsaysurmom, but that's nothing to do with it.

A: No I let the dust gather and coagulate on the cpu fan and vents+shell until i get system performence errors or failures like everyone else. I clean cpu fan and vents+shell every 3-4 months or check and see if it is dirty.

Nice, except my CPU fan, vents and shell (lol shell) are all pretty clean too.

Dirt and dust coagulated tends to Retain heat which can burn/fail componets that provide capacitence and resistence to electricity and or melt then cross positive and negative componets which is what that POP probably was. At least you were around and there for it. Hopefully a circuit breaker is between your comp and the wall or it could of been WORSE. You would be calling smokey the bear for back up.

See link again, nothing to do with it. You sound like a student fresh out of an IT class.

Last I checked, a power supply had vents in it that you could get a nozzle for a can of air in and blow out the insides through the other vents.  Just don't inhale.  Trust me.

when theres physical damage of the extent roph showed to a component it has to be more then just dust.

roph is also right though powersupplys are kinda tricky to poke around in and clean.

I never clean the inside because I don't know how to do it safely.

leaving the dust in there might be good. The electricity will bring the cells in the dust back to life and turn your pc into a human offshoot from you. Using your dead cells. EWW!
