My computer keeps shutting by itself and the message i get says it shuts down
because something is blocking the fan and the fan needs to be cleaned.The
code i get is M1004.Does any one know how to clean a computer fan.Also the
icons on my desk top suddenly became large and i don't know how to make them
smaller.Can anyone help.
Thanks
Chris

Hi,

To clean the fan, you will have to disassemble your computer, and use some
compressed air until the fan is dust-free.

To make your desktop icons small, right-click a blank space on your desktop
and click properties. On the Appearance tab, click the effects button. Keep
clicking the "Use Large Items" Checkbox until there is nothing inside the
box (Not a square or tick). Then click OK, and OK again, and they should now
be small.

Hope this helps
Harry

You should manualy remove the fan of your processor, it might be damaged or
full of dust. Clean it using small paint brush. The reason of shutting down
is that, the temperature of your processor is very high and its beyond the
tolerable limit. If after cleaning and still doesnt work, then you have to
buy new for replacement.
