random crashes?

you may be suffering from overheating

please rule out the first suspect shown below




taken from ebaumsworld, couldn't resist posting

if you have similar dust issue, first recommendation from TCF is to clean

Personally, whenever i notice a temperature rise i open my pc up and give it a dust out immediately.

It can be very surprising just how much a good dust out can reduce temperatures by. :)

I will just add. I used to post a lot on another site and i used to see quite a few people ask why their pc was running hot. Dust was the cause in quite a number of cases.

You make a valid point that is often overlooked!
