Why did you throw away the magical fairy dust? Why?

ESD safe brushes and dustvac are key, be careful not to break any components off in the process especially the fan blades as you need to hold them down to clean them, the rest you can lightly brush.

gpu fans too

Mine just blew up a few hours ago. Honestly I couldn’t but laugh at it.

This happened to me. PC never booted with more than one stick of RAM again.

I had a rather unique problem. Recently I cleaned my PC and when I turned it on, the keyboard was not working. Which was possible because the keyboard had more than a kilo of dust on it. But interestingly, the keyboard was fine when I tried it on a different machine.
After trying everything to figure out the issue, finally when I connected internet to my PC(the PC was being shifted, so the internet connection was cut off), the keyboard started working fine.
I guess it was a driver issue.

90% of the time, every time I scare myself by forgetting the PSU switch.

Only time that happens is when you accidentally pull the power plug from the mobo. It’s a tiny ass cable.

Dude I just drag my air compressor hose into the office, blast the shit out of everything and call it a day.

Reseat your GPU and RAM and then call me in the morning.

Happened to me. Clean and repasted, 2 ram sticks gave up to unknown reasons.

Did you take it out and blow on it?

Happened to me once.
I ended up trashing my Abit AS8 motherboard because I scratched it on the back and cut a pcb trace behind the CPU socket.

Had this happen once. Cleaned out my old H60 aio cooler. All the sudden my PC would shut off after 20 seconds of being on. Turns out my aio pump died after cleaning out the radiator. :/ atleast it was an easy fix.
