my computer is about 5 or 6 years old and i always put the hardrive on the carpet floor....so you know it traps alot of dust. usally when i open it to do stuff i would try to clean it but i only rarely do it so there is alot of dust in there prolly.
so basically my question is do dust on my fan slow down my computer speed? cuz my comp is very slow...when i open a webpage it says loading..... sometimes it after the load it says error...if i clean it will it be normal?

Dust in the fan makes the fan to rotate slow which increases the heat in the processor.Due to increase of heat in the processor the performance of the processor decreases which in turn reduces the speed and performance of the computer.So its better you clean up the fan...

It's not a guarantee that the computer will load webpages faster if your hardware is dust-free. But it is a fact that it's good maintenance for the PC to dust it regularly. This helps keep all its moving parts working properly.
You can also purchase more memory for your computer.

You should have your CPU somewhere where air can get in and out. If its really dusty inside or on the carpet like that, the fan can't work right, and your CPU will over heat, much like a car, and it will eventually stop working... You'll end up having to buy a whole new hard drive!

airborne dirt and dirt does decelerate a pc. I particularly have an identical issue with my computer each once and awhile. I used compressed air, which will properly be bought at perfect purchase or any pc keep, to bathe out the fan. usually it may help you and the computer will artwork like it did before it grew to develop into dusty. once you're apprehensive, attempt chatting with a pc tech. they could manage to help.

Dust gets in the brushes of your fans and slows them down. This causes your CPU, memory, etc to overheat and run slower. BE CAREFUL, it could cause your CPU to burn out, then you have no computer.

Well when certain things (like your processor) overheat they underclock themselves, the fan helps keep them cool for them to run. so it will help.

its probably not the dust, its prolly the fact that your computer is old.

Yes, dusty internals will make your PC lagg.
