So a can can damage my computer because of cold? WTF?
Okay, honestly, this is really becoming a struggle here. Are you really this clueless? Or am I missing sight of the Candid Camera crew somehow? I mean it's fair to ask these kinds of questions if you don't know, but I've got to say that I'm starting to worry about you doing this work yourself. Maybe you should just take it to a shop and have them clean it...

As for the explanation: If you apply freezing darn cold to anything that's really darn hot, rapid thermal expanding and contracting equals breaking. That's really basic physics and applies to pretty much everything (especially small engines), not just computers.

So once the compressed air becomes so cold that liquid starts spraying ... time to take a break and let it warm up again.

Plus I'm not entirely certain of the conductive capabilities of said liquid. I'd hope that it's not conductive, and it should evaporate quickly, but for that brief moment? I honestly don't know. So again, no liquid squirting out with the compressed air, no problems. When you see drops start to squirt out, stop.

Normally you wouldn't have so much dust to blow out and so there really isn't even remotely enough time for this to become a problem. But looking at that picture? Damn dude. Just damn. You're gonna need some time to be thorough.
 
Uh oh, it din't fixed it and it sounds like a VGA problem cuz i got a blue screen while playing a game and it was saying about remplacing VGA and it was saying: Emptying phisical memory. Any help?
 
I cleaned it wit can of air and it just make a little more noises.

Just as I told you, fabs that ran so many years with all this dust is probably worn by bad balancing the dust caused. But dust would prevent to run as fast because of obvious reasons.

Now that you cleaned them, they are free to rotate to their full speed, but since thay are badly balanced, they'll make noise..

So, either you replace the fan or you just turn the speakers volume higher.

Video card might be overheating.. is the fan running?

Damn.. I've been nice!!!
 
your right... what could dust do... there's not that much dust in there compared to oh i don't know the inside of your head is filled with dust and look how wonderfully its working you stupid... :wink:

Argh.. you can quote anything from me, but quote it right. You screw up very bad here, as I never said I'm just newb at hardware.

Don't make me tell something I didnt.

And.. I don't know what you mean here thou ..
 
I'm still not clear about the five fans you've got on your PC.
Does that include the slot fan (the one next to your video card?)
The slot fan looked really clogged and dirty in that pic you posted.
That's an aftermarket part (not original equipment) added to help keep the video card cool.
I'd recommend removing the slot fan and blowing it out real good. Or like some others said, maybe replace some of the fans. For about $30 you could buy all new fans for that case.

Thanks for the intelligent answer (not as others). Yes the slot fan is aftermarketed but i think my GFX card still overheat. Should i remove the slot fan and change the GPU fan?
 
I wouldn't bother replacing the fan and heatsink on your video card.
It's a very old card. You could get something much faster for not much cash at all.
I recently sold an old Nvidia FX 5200 that I had lying around the house for $20 bucks to a pal. I've seen those still selling at some computer stores for around $50 or so new.
The last AGP card I bought was an 8600 Pro last year. Paid $99 for it then, they're down in the $70 range now at retail (cheaper online).
Along with cleaning out the dust and maybe replacing some fans that are worn out, replacing that video card with something a little bit newer would give you a really big boost in performance without having to spend much money.

I need a AGP card and my GFX card performance r really good (No lags in any game). And i will give my speed fan I/O thing:
