Every time I power my computer it freezes after 5 minutes or so, not sure if it is a graphics card problem or what... The PC had a similar problem where it would crash once a week, usually when I open my browser and play music and at the same time play games, so I have decides to use my air compressor and try to clean the dust... Since then my computer crashed only when I launch a game and play it for 3 minutes... For some reason when using the browser my CPU was 20%... Since recently my PC crashes every time I launch it, it usually work 5 minutes or so... Does anyone have this kind of problem or know how to get rid of the problem?
Yes, I have fully updated every single driver for every single device...

If it crashes under load, maybe a video card issue, test the system with another video card or your card in another system. Power supply issue can also cause crashes, RAM, really just about anything.

A clean Windows setup will help rule out driver or other software issues, try that. You can use a spare hard drive to install Windows on to test, that way if it does not fix things you can just go back to your original setup. Try one RAM stick at a time or different RAM.
