    as per the guidelines mentioned in the motherboard manual.it says that to install 4gb memory chip, we must change OS to 64 bit.

    we can use 3gb ram chip in 32 bit.so can u please help me from flipkart.com suitable ram chip of 3gb memory chip.

    Wrong, You can install 4 gigs of ram on ANY 32 bit system, BUT it will ONLY show 3.25 gigs.. This is normal.. If you want to show More You will need to use 64bit..
    Did you add the 4 gig chip ?

    I have the same problem as well, I live out in the country and we have big trucks /Simi's going to the Rock Quarry all day and night, the dust they make is terrible ....
    My advice to is Make sure your computer Sits off the ground..Put it on a table or something, making sure it is off the ground at least 2 feet..All of my computers sit on top of my computer desk.. You have to very careful when cleaning a computer, MAKE SURE it is NOT Plug IN.... I use different sizes of paint brushes... You just want to make sure you don't Ground out anything..

    CPU fan and System fan is the most important..You can remove the rear fan fairly easy and clean it with a brush or blow it off with some compress air..
    If it is easy to remove the cpu fan, then do it the same way.. Just make sure the heat shield over the cpu is never clogged...

    The rear fan (system fan) you just tighten the screws until they get tight. The cpu fan might not be held down with screws, but clips...WHY DO YOU ASK ?
    If you have a BAD fan, it will start making Noise, You can test the fan just by spinning it by hand, A good fan should spin around by hand at least twice or more..

    o.k.so that's the key.well. i just checked the fan to clean the dust with a brush.i spinned the fan.no noise came from it.
    but there are few dust.that makes me worry(both system fan(cooling fan) and CPU fan).but sometimes a noise is coming from the back of CPU not always.what could be problem.

    should we clean both the fans atleast once in a month to avoid the noise.

    You have to check the fan for noise when it is running !!!!! Also what do you mean by the back of the CPU ???? Don't you mean the back of the case ?
    OK! You need to do this !!! Put everything back together right, remove the side case door, then start up the computer and let it load...
    Now check ALL fans for Noise !!! Thats the rear fan, the CPU fan and the Power supply fan... Your sound is probably coming from the power Supply fan.
    The power supply fans go out and when they start to go bad they will make a noise... What Brand of power supply do you have...
