I'm going to second this. In the past couple of weeks I started getting erratic behaviour for no apparent reason. Then yesterday my fan started groaning like a truck. Opened up the box to find the fan and heat sink completely packed with dirt. Actual dirt (Arizona is dusty, to put it mildly). It's a miracle the whole thing hadn't gone up in flames.
Anyway, several Q-tips and a can of air later, things are running much more smoothly...
