So my PC has been randomly crashing and restarting lately, and I'm pretty sure its hard drive related, but let me explain the history of it. This is the first PC that I built approximately 2 years ago. I could've done a better job, but it's worked pretty well. However, about 3 months ago we had some remodeling done in my house, and my computer took in a lot of dust. I attempted to vacuum it out, but there's still a little in there. Anyway, I had some issues getting my computer to start back up afterwards, but switching my hard drive connection around between ports and readjusting it, seemed to fix it (Note I had to do this a few more times over the following month, but it eventually started working without any more fiddling with it). Recently, like I stated previously, it has begun crashing occasionally (once every 2-4 days generally). It's not a huge deal, and I can ignore it mostly, but I'm curious if it could in fact be a symptom of upcoming hard drive failure. Should I be concerned?
Thanks
