After spending four hours doing some maintenance on my PC, where I took everything apart and did some pretty good cleaning and renewed the thermal paste of the processor (haven't done it since I built this machine in 2009) as well as check for any hardware faults (which thankfully I did not identify any), I put it all back together and I am glad to say that it is working fine. c: I do need to replace the exhaust case cooler on the back, though. It is working, but well. The problem is that finding one with a molex connector already attached to it to plug it to the power supply is very difficult. I've been looking for months and I still couldn't find one. I did find one this week and bought it, but it's too big for my case so I can't use it.  

So much dust everywhere! Turns out it was worse than it seemed.

Everything has been disassembled, cleaned and now it is all ready to be put back together. Motherboard with processor, PSU, case coolers and the front panel as well as both side covers are behind me in this photo. All also have been cleaned.

Ta-da! All clean and ready to be turned on, again!

On some other news, last night after I finished working on my PC I began to feel ill. Got a headache that only got worse and worse, my back was feeling very sore, my head was feeling very heavy and as I tried to have dinner after taking a shower, despite not having any appetite, I threw up twice. Then I gave up on my meal, just brushed my teeth and went to bed shortly past 10 PM (which is absurdly early for me) and slept until just a few minutes ago (past 1 PM). At least I am feeling fine, now. Back is fine, head isn't aching and my stomach is not acting up anymore.
