So maybe this is why my computer decided to crash randomly during the last year?

My computer’s CPU cooler. I removed a bit of the dust in the top/middle, but before all was covered in a thick layer of cooler-killing dust.

Odd enough it mostly happen when I play Counter-Strike and not other CPU demanding games/tasks. No sensors gave me any warning, and all tests said that the cpu weren’t too warm.

Cleaned it up, and gave it some new Artic Termal Greese. Now I just hope it helps.
