How do I clean out Vents? (Dell Inspiron E1505)
My vents are dusty, had my PC for 1.5 years, payed a lot, and I'm getting crashes from overheating.
How can I clean out the vents on my computer?
Supplies, and steps would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

to get to the CPU fan. Blow any dust out of the fan and any other fans inside the case.

First of all, I will try cleaning out the fan.
Second, you say I might need more thermal grease? What do you mean by that?
Third, the vents are sitting on flat surface, and lobbed in the air to get more air to it.
Fourth, I'm unsure if its working, I'm pretty sure I can hear it, but I will check on that.
And lastly, where can I get canned air? Where do I blow it into? (The vents on the bottom or on the left side there), and as for cleaning out the computer, what if I'm uncomfortable dissassembleing it?
