I dont think that it is a dust problem but clearing the dust will help with performance, but thats for later.
What your experiencing is a BSOD (Blue screen of death). When you start up the PC, press F8 a few times and there should be an option to disable an automatic restart on system error.
When the screen goes blue, you'll see an error at the top. i.e- UNMOUNTABLE_VOLUME_DISK. The error may be something else. Tell me what the error is.
Don't worry, the data should still be intact and if you can't fix this, you can still save your data. Happy to help =)

OK.
What about under it? Does it have something like
Technical Information:
*** 0x *some numbers and letters - then more in brackets*?
And under this, it should have a file. So like USBPORT.SYS or something else. What is this file?
It seems like an error in swapping files occured and a key system driver cannot be located.
Do you have the windows installation discs?
Any time. I hope we can fix this

Hi,
It could be a problem with your video card if you have got a Nvidia : https://ccm.net/faq/12171-windows-irql-not-less-or-equal-blue-screen

Its very difficult to troubleshoot without your minidump files which requires you to atleast boot into safemode
If that is not possible then only option is to try repairing with your OS CD

OK. Is there no .SYS file?
Try putting these discs in and see if there is an option to repair windows. If there is, do that.
Good luck
