Is it possible that the dust could have been overheating the pc and causing the beeps when booting up?

Also a stupid question, but am I also supposed to clean the cpu underneath the sink with a can of air spray or no?

Hello, it could be a Short Circuit, created indeed by some kind of dust that generates static in the motherboard and thus restarting.

Try to place the Chasis Horizontal to the ground, instead of Vertical and see if it doesn't restart anymore. If you have time, you need to disamble, clean it up and build all again.

Good luck!
