When you’re done cleaning your motherboard, you can put it back into its case. You can use a small screwdriver to insert the screws. You might want to use some glue or a dab of super glue to secure the motherboard in its place. You can also use super glue to stabilize your motherboard. You can use any superglue, though I prefer to use the brand that comes in a tube. Apply a small amount of super glue around the edges of the motherboard and secure it in place.
Remove the dust buildup from the power supply using a can of compressed air and a microfiber cloth. I’ve also found that compressed air works great for removing dust from the fan blades on my power supply. You can also use a small vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from within your computer case. I’ve found that this works better than a can of compressed air. You should also make sure the power supply fan blades are free from dust because this will let more airflow through and exhaust heat from your computer.
remove the heat sink and fan from the processor and place them in a clear plastic bag. You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the heat sink and fan that was removed from the processor. Now that the heat sink and fan have been removed from the processor, you can clean off the thermal paste on top of the processor. The thermal paste is made out of a combination of different compounds, which are meant to transfer heat from inside the CPU to outside. Clean the paste off of the top of the processor by using a cotton swab or a Q-tip. The heat sink and fan can be used as a tool to remove dust from around the edges of the processor.
In order to remove the thermal grease, moisten a lint-free cloth with 99 percent isopropyl alcohol and wipe the top of the processor. Make sure to dry the grease off of the motherboard before reattaching it. Next, attach the heat sink and fan back onto the CPU, and then use the thermal paste to apply it in a uniform way across the entire surface of the CPU.
Finally, dust off all the ports on the computer Before re-attaching the motherboard to the case, ensure all cables are connected.
The computer should be restarted and then turned on. If the computer was turned off while it had a faulty CPU, it won’t finish booting.

Clean your PC every day from outside and must clean it once in a couple of months Clean your PC regularly – weekly or fortnightly to keep the computer clean Keep the computer cool but not too cold, if it is too cold, it will be hard for the CPU to work and will make a bad sound.
