Your Grafick card could be broken already,
does it have artifacts ? stripes true your display ?
color changing in windows.. or many other symptoms.
then you can trow it away (if out of warranty ofcource..)
Clean it out , only advise i can give you there is do it like i do it on my job , Compressed air (you can get cans of this…)
