My computer broke down...

So this morning my computer broke down. Usually I call specialized technicians to fix it for me. But today i decided against it and instead fix it myself.

At first it was quite intimidating to start removing screws and components. Nevertheless i moved on with the project. I removed the Ram, the graphics card and the fans without snapping any wires.

I thoroughly cleaned it all up and applied new thermal paste. Then i carefully put it back together paying close attention on connecting everything up and not damaging anything.

The last step was to clean the case from any dust especially the airways. Here its the final step before buttoning everything up.

Thankfully it wasn't anything wrong hardware wise. All it needed was a good clean to lower the running temperatures. I know that for many attempting these kind of stuff is scary but the only way to learn is by doing it yourself.

It all went smooth and now its running like new! From now on I will attempt to fix or upgrading part my self, without wasting money and time on technicians. Hope you will too.
