Dust in a PC (Hear me out) can it actually affect it? (daft question I know) reason I asking though? I noticed I had a hell of a amount of dust building inside and on here before I've said I was getting BSOD after BSOD infact up to recently I was getting BSOD'S with kernel failure....................so I took the plunge from amazon and I bought a IT Dusters Compucleaner Xpert fan ............the results have been good. I let it rip inside the PC itself and since then? BSOD'S I was having have just stopped. Kernel power failures seem to have stopped too

Yes, as you have found out. Vac then duster blower (canned air). I do my computers every year, sometimes twice a year.

I perform a dusting and cleanout of our PCs on an annual basis. (Yes, it is on my calendar :) )I used to use canned air but earlier this year I purchased a small blower with a rechargeable battery and a few attachments. Works like a champ. Helps me to clean the case, all internal components, keyboard, etc.
