I cleaned out my PC the night before and I went to turn on my after school but it turned off 5 minutes after, I then turn it back on again and bam, dead in 5 again, I open it up and look around for issues but see none, so I close it and it works for about 10 minutes before going off.

I then proceed to get some compressed air and clean the fans and the heatsink mostly of dust, by then the PC works for about an hour, I then break out the Q tips and do a deep clean on the PC which then makes it work quieter and for about 2 hours+ but I didn't want to leave it on overnight

UPDATE: there is a quiet noise I can hear just under the noise of the fan which sounds like something may be loose.
