I cleaned out The Robot about a month ago and there doesn't seem to be much dust in it's fans or CPU heat sink.  But during movie playback when my display is cloned to my TV, the computer will expectantly shutdown.  And also when I'm working with my overlaid TARTA maps and I'm drawling polygons for their call-a-ride zones, if it's a particularly large one, then it will also shut down.  Since the fans are clean, I've heard that the heat sinking compound on my CPU might need to be cleaned and re-applied.  Well, that's possible considering that the computer has been running almost non-stop for six years.  Frankly, I'm surprised that the CPU has lasted this long at all.  Heat sinking compound is cheap.
