Had to pick between a new PSU or just cleaning my old one...
My PC kept shutting off randomly last month and I was sure I needed a new power supply. I was ready to drop $80 on a decent one from Micro Center. But then I remembered a tip from a forum about dust buildup causing overheating. I pulled my old PSU out, blew it out with compressed air, and cleaned the fan with a q-tip. It's been running fine for 3 weeks now and I saved the money. Anyone else put off a simple cleaning and almost bought a new part?
