So it has started being noisy again, some really weird noises at times, and last night the CPU fan didn't even start up when I turned the PC on.

I had to tap it with the screwdriver to get it going, it's the CPU fan that makes the noise, the case fan at the back seems a bit iffy too, leading me to believe that it is a power supply problem, rather than the fans themselves.

I cleaned the CPU fan, it should have no dust on it anymore, I dunno what to do really, apart from buy a new power supply/set of fans. They are cheap though, so I guess i'm not too fussed, but they are the only part inside my PC that I have no experience with replacing.
