(1) In first place... DUST - They say there are two certainties in life, death and tax. We'd like to make the case for a third, dust, it's inescapable. Dust is the most common cause of computer overheating in industrial environments because it accumulates, blocking vents and disabling fans.
Dust systematically disables your computer by clogging the vents, then smothering all the components of the computer that generate heat. With no extraction point for excess heat the fan is put into overdrive, overcompensating to cool your PC. Your computer is then left with no defence against heat accumulation.
