Obviously, your pc is fucked up.

If you don't have knowledge about hardware, don't do anything, or you might get it even more fucked up. Take it to some pro, who will know what to do.

My videocard failed cuz' I vacuumed it.. I don't even recommend DOING anything relating to Vacuum.. just use blowers or something!
Perhaps that's a good idea in your deserty area, where dust is everywhere! :o
I usually use a brush, along with a vacuum cleaner that the dust doesn't get all into the room.

But basically you are right DJ. I remember a noob from my old class who radically dislocated his GPU cooler with the vacuum cleaner. :-D

Lol, that's definitely no good, what was that guy trying to do? Some forceful vacuuming I guess. You don't really want to hit your motherboard, either.

Right, when doing this, you need to take care of, not to hit components or even to let the cleaner get stuck on the board surface! :smt103
That's why my compromise is additionally using a fine brush.
Outdoors an airblower would be the best solution, though.

I use a used toilet roll on the end of the vacuum nozzle "you can squeeze the end to get into those hard to reach places" TM

You could always try deleting system 32 xD
Or (s)wipe your hard drive with a magnet.

Or perhaps get a professional to look at your pc?

BTW don't use vacuum cleaner cuz... It doesn't physically move any hardware parts or something but it creates negative air or something that will short circuit your hardware components in my case it short circuited my VGA D:

Yeah, it's probably got to do with air pressure. You create an area of low air pressure, to which air from the areas around it move to. This can cause fans to move, which can in turn short circuit some parts of the computer. I'm not sure if this is true, though, it may be some kind of urban legend, but that's what I've always thought.
