Just cleaned the dust on my aunts computer...

my aunt has an old HP Pavilion 510w (Celeron 1.1ghz), it turned off when playing low games like RA2 and even some internet Java games...i cleaned it out....the fan runs at 3000rpm more...the cpu temp was usually 50c, now its 32c!
Just needed to get the excitment onto something...the heatsink was "glued" to the fan with dust a half cm thick.
