If you own a PSU that is at least 2-3 years old, and it still runs, it's time to give it a good cleaning. If yours comes apart with screws, carefully remove it from the tower unplugging all terminals, remembering the connections, and blow it out with some air duster. If you're able to get inside of it use the duster again and also Q-Tips work well here. Remove any/all dust and dirt, cleaning the fan's blades as well. Soap and water work great on acrylic or plastic units. If you can, look for any damaged or leaky transistors before putting back together. A regular monthly dusting should keep it running fine a few more years if kept nice and cool. Blow out or dust the inside of the tower before putting the PSU back into place.
