    Lets start with how you removed the dust.

    Details are important.

      First thing to do is make sure you didn't jar anything loose inside the system. Open it up and make sure all cards are firmly seated and all connections are tight.

      Also, was this just a regular cleaning of the pc or was there a problem that caused you to clean it?
