Can it be that the fan bearing is failing?

I have to replace my motherboard once every year or so. Simply because it gets burnt out. I'd imagine that the PSU does the same thing, so I guess its a good idea and practice to do that maintenance.
Unless of course, you're not a heavy user.

Heh, dont feel bad Einsmen. I have a friend who has the worst luck with having computers built. I've built dozens for other people with no problem. His is always a problem. Power Supply, motherboard, processor, video card. Just seems as we get one new part, another fails. THEN when it's working fine at my shop, he gets it home and within 10 days it starts having problems. I'd say it was him, but he's not a total "computer illiterate". We're trying to decide if it's either the house's old wiring or his (somewhat) retarded brother messing it up.
As for your motherboards burning up, having you considered water cooling as an option? Or if you have a bit more $$$ to spend, Phase-Change Cooling, which is basically a refridgerator for your PC?
