About three months ago, I replaced a clogged (or dead, can't remember) fan in this computer and recently (about a month ago) sprayed out everything inside the computer box (which I do periodically).

I don't think my dual-monitor card has a fan, but if it does, I sprayed it. My computer box sits in a cubbyhole in the desk I use, so I also have a 5" fan (replaced a couple of weeks ago) on top of the box at the back that stays on all the time.

BTW, I've had no symptoms that any of the hardware is failing and I've also had no problems with other programs. I can't remember any crashes when using any other software. But it's been about four years since I replaced the motherboard, power supply, and hard drive, so I'm thinking it's time to update them all.

The crashes I've had usually occur when the Calibre editor is fixing errors (using Check Book) in large EPUB files. I figure the software just can't handle large files, especially when the program has been open for many hours. Closing out my browser, Explorer windows, and Editpad sometimes helps to avoid any crashes when it's working a long time to fix errors.
