Day 005 : Computer PSU

Today, we are going to share a story a little more to computer and it's life.
The above picture shown is what is inside a computer, like myself - I don't get to see this guys so often. I only get the chance to have a closer look when ever Luf is doing his computer maintenance.

His is previously an IT Engineer but since I dragged him into photography, he quit that line and more to photography and editing stuffs now. But still since this both are very much connected - he still do computer stuffs for our own personal benefits - simple stuffs like formatting, maintaining and some troubleshooting if needed. Thankfully he still got the touch for it. He is my best IT guys.

Owh back to what's bring us to this picture, Luf's pc has been making lots of funny and weird acts lately but Luf was just to occupied to attend to the crankiness of his pc but today - he had no choice but to spend time with his cranky PC cuz his pc refuse to let him go on with it. His PC went off suddenly and cannot be turned on anymore.

So he took his CPU out, do some cleaning, vacumn all the dust in there and took up the Power Supply Unit (PSU), that what's in the above picture, look at the dust! I guess because of the thick dust, the fan could not spin on it's regular speed therefore making the temperature high in there and causing the PC to shut down to avoid from burning. This is purely a non-IT guy making a statement I might be wrong though, so let's see what the expert say about this here.
