One thing I need to do at least every few months is to blow the dust
off of the motherboard, especially the CPU heatsink, the video and
memory chips, and the inside of the power supply, i.e. the hotspots.

I always know when the dust builds up because a normally stable box
starts getting flakey with crashes and segfaults.  A few blasts of
compressed air works for me every time.  Might be worth a try.
