So after 2 years using this pc, today it would not start!Yesterday was fine, today, dead.

I decided to finally open it and clean it.There was a lot of dust in the coolers, I mean a LOT...I cleaned the vga and cpu cooler and then try to start it.It did work, but now when gaming, the gpu is making some LOUD noise, and the temp goes up to 85C, whereas yesterday, with the dust, it didn't surpass 70~75C at max, and noise was minimum...

Could anyone have any idea on why this happened, and how to solve it?

Thanks!!

For cleaning did you use compressed air? Two years since cleaning your rig? If so, you likely moved a collection of dust which is now impeding the flow of air. You can remove the fan/cooler from the gpu and make sure that every nook and cranny is free of dust.
