Apart from dust and fan's Electrolytic capacitors are also to blame Normally you can see this if you remove the power supply , Open the power supply up , and with a quick visual inspection , you will notice the Capacitors swollen and about to burst
Cause "Working voltages too low manufacturers don't overate them slightly" Very tight build , Placed to close to components such as heat sinks and Load resistors where the heat giving off by these devices cause the normal operating temperature of the reservoir capacitors to be exceeded and consequently fail
Replacing these with high quality high temperature capacitors is an answer
You will never ever get manufacturers to do this unfortunately
The price you pay for mass production and cheap manufacture
Responsible for a number of MUP.SYS failures on boot up "Common cause of this problem power supply " Ripple and no smoothing / regulation of supplies due to Caps
