using cooking oil you attract more dust

You can use any lubricate oil which is thin. I mean bahot patla hona chahiye.

Didnt opened CPU fan yet. But the CPU fans are almost same either it is for Laptop or desktop. Some fan has 2 bearings and some has 1 even some fan do not have bearing at all.

I have cleaned and oiled laptop CPU fan too but you need to be well versed on how to open the laptop and then assemble back just as it was.

I have a question
See, NowaDays My computer is not working properly
Sometime it starts , sometimes it doesnt, (Then this removing RAM and Reinstalling works, (That too sometime!)) , its kind of trail and hit!
ANd Sometimes if ts started , it doesnt owrk properly (I mean Ultra SLOW) (Have 2GB RAM , and a Core 2 Dua Processor with windows 7 Installed) (So I dont think with these specs it should go ultra slow) , and then once its running properly , its the best (Works even better then my laptop)

So now I am confused as what exactly the problem is
(I personally think its Power Supply )
Lemme tell you Which one it is →
SLink , P4-500W (20+4 pin/SATA/ATX)
DC Output →(Total = 500W)
Now what are the things installed →
A SATA Harddisk , A DDR2 Motherboard with a very old Graphics card only)

Now tell me, what do you all think that can be wrong , and If you think powersupply is the problem , then suggest me some good power supply ( For Average usage + lowtoaverage gaming)
(I am in Delhi , so I will goto Nehru Place for buying this , so a Company , or specs of the powersupply would be great )
Thanks..

Check ram for issues.Use rubber to clean the ram. Might be as a computer guy to clean up the comp completely for u.

Other option

Change to Linux distros they are much more light on resource utilisation and have almost all the apps u would want on daily basis. u just sometimes need to type commands in terminal.

Edit: don’t go for costly 2k smps unless ur having a good gaming rig

@happy2prog You have not explained what you meant by “start” (reaches boot stage or does not even power on?). I am going to assume you meant that the computer powers on but doesn’t boot successfully. Sounds to me like a dust/connection problem or a hard disk damage (hardware) or Windows corruption (software).

You have already covered one plausible reason in terms of the power supply. If even after cleaning the dust properly* and reformatting the system, the problem does not go away, then you may consider changing the SMPS. From what you have written, IMO, 500W is enough juice for your basic config.

You may also consider cleaning the CPU fan and replacing the thermal paste. But based on the fact that the computer runs perfectly fine sometimes, I doubt that it’s because of CPU overheating.

If it comes to changing the SMPS, please refer to the relevant portion of my post here and also read the subsequent post by @cybertechie. http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...

*Properly = Take out the RAM, graphics card, HDD and disconnect power/HDD cables to have clear access to the motherboard. Then use an air can, pump, or vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean the dust. Also clean the RAM chips and graphics card separately. Make sure to blow some air inside the RAM slots on the motherboard so as to get any debris/dust that might have collected there.

BY Start I mean NOT EVEN BOOTSTAGE , (i.e Not even BIOS)
Rest I will tell you later..

What you have mentioned is a is a very common misconception. Even a bare bone basic system needs a quality PSU. A good quality PSU will supply efficient power which in turns ensures longevity to other hardware components. Just take one look at any local computer repair shop and you will find ton’s of cheap Local failed PSU’s gathering dust. A poor quality PSU most of times will screw some other components too when it fails.

Some of the decent brands available in India are Seasonic, Corsair and Antec.

This has been repeated almost on all of the online forums that I have visited ; But whenever you visit the offline shops 95% of the pc’s equipped with smps from no other than intex/iball etc etc. ; Most of the shop owner in tier 2 cities don’t even know what corsair/antec/cooler master etc. is

And most of the cpu’s with generic work equally fine ; even i think it isn’t necessary to go for those costlier 80/90+ psu’s unless you are using power hungry gpu’s

[A friend of fine is doing great since two years with a generic psu that is powering two gpu’s in sli]

There is a reason why most of the tech forums don’t recommend using local PSU’s. I don’t think you have ever got a chance to tear down a Local PSU. capacitors and other components on them are of very poor quality. I’m sure most of them don’t even supply 30-40% of the rated power. I don’t understand why one would be risking 30-40k worth components on a computer system by buying a cheap PSU.

Regarding failure rates of local PSU’s, please speak to someone who works with a computer repair shop and check with him regarding the part that fails the most. I would be shocked if the answer is not power supply /SMPS.

I have never had a PSU fail on me.

On my old comp once the original smps failed the repair guy fitted an intex and it dint last much. My current comp had a corsair smps fitted but still both my motherboard from Asus and graphics card Asus ati radeon 5670 hd both failed once in the warranty of 3 years. And not that my house has to much fluctuating voltage. I don’t know was it pure luck or something else but luckily all that happened in the last year of warranty when it was still covered

You remind me of a friend. He lives right in the heart of the city and he doesn’t get 3G/EVDO network. His PC heats up so much as it crashes and reboots even in winter. He has done everything except changing his processor. I recommended throwing out the processor but he says he would since last 3 years. Meanwhile his motherboard died once, current one is short somewhere. RAM went bust along with a slot. Monitor needed change too.

Now almost everyone along with me has advised him to sell his house.

Mere itne bhi bure din nahi aaye hai. PC works fine obviously config has got old don’t remember it would be 2nd Gen i5 mostly and when graphics card died in warranty they gave me almost purchase price since they dint have the same model. So don’t have a graphics card currently only inbuilt Intel graphics jindabaad. Baaki sab chakachak chalta hai after 4 years. 2 years later I might think of overhauling

Did you write this long piece yourself or did you hire someone to write it for you?

@ishandon Read and try to understand what @cybertechie has written. I also tell people to buy an Intex SMPS when budget is a big factor and I have even personally installed Intex PSUs in a few computers that have been running fine for as long as 10 years, but that doesn’t mean it’s always a good idea. The failure rate in domestic/cheap PSUs is quite high. And before they die, they sometimes even damage your CPU, HDD, RAM, or motherboard.

It definitely makes a lot of sense to invest 2-3K in a good PSU unit from Corsair/OCZ/Seasonic or even Antec when you are assembling a desktop for 50K or more. Buying a cheap PSU or a popular iBall cabinet-SMPS combo is not a good idea.

Ohkk

Haven’t used a system worth more than 35k [except for one that costed upwards of a lac] ’ this is the reason never needed to use a branded psu
