Had to opened up the case and clean out TONS of dust inside. My computer was basically roaring for a month.

I find it surprising that it actually runs faster, I suppose it could have been throttling itself to prevent from overheating.

I was playing WoW and my machine kept freezing / shutting down. This was near midnight with a bunch of raiders waiting for me... I whipped out a hand vacuum and a can of air and went to town. It felt so gratifying. 5 minutes later, no more freezing. Hadn't done it in at least a year.

Dust bunnies... they are not bunnies if you leave them there to long.
Its more a fabric at that point. :(
Also makes it a pain to remove.
