That's what you get when your house is just a few blocks away from 3 beaches
Anyway, computer is broken (turn off without no reason or warning before windows start up), my friend said all the boards and shit was full of salt, and suggested me to clean my computer.
The only problem is that I have no idea how to clean it and I don't want to risk, because I'll probably make things worse
Please, give me tips, suggestions or a guide how to clean it.
Thanks
Salt corrodes. Make sure cables and such are plugged in. Clean out heatsinks and fans.
Dont move any parts, it will scratch your motherboard.... Grab some canned air and blow the salt away
Yeah, once you've cleaned it out "carefully" I would look into getting some filters for any fans drawing air into your tower. I use some thin foam to help keep dust out. Don't get foam that is too thick as it will restrict airflow. You should be able to get sheets of foam very cheap in your local DIY store.
Cut the sheets of foam to size of your fans and then just poke a small holes in each corner to allow the screws to pass through the foam easily.

Another thing I do, is get anti-static foam, and put it behind my MOBO, so dust and shit can't get behind it. It never gets hot enough to catch on fire.
Thanks, I'll try the canned air thing
Does a vacuum cleaner works too?

I wouldn't recommend using a vacuum as they are too powerful and can damage the components. What you can do is have the nozzle near where your blasting the dust out so it collects the dust in the air.
