the thing i really don’t understand is that it has been running fine with all this dust and crap in it for so long and all the sudden when i clean everything out it still can’t take it.. I think something in my hardware has got to be *edited*ed up.. I’m not exactly sure what but if i had to guess i’d have to say it’s either the psu or the gpu cus my gpu shouldn’t be running that hot ever… and the power supply fan needs to be replaced cus it rattles/ cuts off every now and then

 

If its rattling and cutting off then replace the PSU immediately. You can run a very serious risk of burning out components if you haven’t already.

 

The PSU is hooked to *everything*. It starts messing up, everything starts messing up.

 

 

As for the GPU getting hot, heh, well, too much power would cause that.
