IMO, dust alone is not the problem. Could dust and high humidity clogged a radiator? Yes. Would the overheating because of that cause problems? Yes. There are LOTS of pictures of super dusty PCs that just work. There are pictures with roach infestations that just work. A "few months" of dust? No, IMO.
