So I got back from the computer store just now. I had dropped off my computer yesterday as my power supply had suddenly stopped working. At the time I thought it was odd that a 5 year old power supply would suddenly stop working but as it turned out there was something lose inside it.

The good news is the $30 maintenance fee also included a dusting out, installation of a front fan(which I bought for $20), a disk and memory check and could have included an antivirus check.(I opted out of this so I would not have to give my password.)
Here is what the inside of the computer looks like after the company(Odyssey Systems) worked on it:
