Take the lid of your PC and remove and re insert all the cards and memory. Twice.

Check for obvious crud/dust in the process.

Do the same for all the connectors going to the devices and the motherboard.

After 5 years, something is bound to have gathered a little crud.

I have done this on numerous PC's and at least half have gone on for a few more years, the others I threw away.

The other way to look at it is 'Wow that's a nice shiny new fast computer in the shop'! After 5 years I usually update to something way better.

Cheers,
Damien.
