For a few days, my PC was having a slight burning smell and at least one of three fans was louder. It was overdue for cleaning, so I took it on the back porch to clean it out. I use compressed air and q tips to clean the fans and compressed air and a cloth to clean surfaces inside. I've clean my PC before about a year ago, except; I didn't do the discharge electricity before cleaning it technique, used a cloth and compressed gas on surfaces and I might have used more compressed gas and might have not q tipped the fan blades as well this time as it was about 60 degrees outside.
It never randomly (at least not for months beforehand) shut off until I set it back up. It cut off after some time, cut on after I turned it back on then I had mixed success getting it back on. I used two different power strips so it's not those.
I left it off from afternoon yesterday to noon today. I was on it for about two hours then it shut right off. It would not turn back on after at least one try so I just unplugged it. I was playing some music and had at least two tabs opened so that might have overwhelmed it.
