  Too much dust will heat up the PC and cause it to reboot or shutdown when a certain temperature is reached. So unlikely that's your problem.
  
  Your monitor or graphics card is dying, definitely.

  That has got to with the CMOS. Probably got some settings changed or the battery is weak or some hardware that is failing that caused this issue.
  
  As for your speaker issue, when does it happen?

  Singnet users don't complain. It's usually slow around this time.
  
  By 2am, the speed will be good as aeroplane.
  
  Starhub, forever slow.

  It's probably your hardware. Just need to change them to be sure.
  
  If nothing works, your CMOS battery is dying also...

  Not sure, I haven't found a need to change them.
  
  At this time, download speeds is slow. No worries. US and UK citizens are awake.

  Low end PC - $500 - $800
  
  Average PC - $800 to $1000
  
  Above Average PC - $1000 and above
  
  For low end PCs, if you buy from some shops, chances are it might go even lower. I once saw a $400++ PC. Good enough for normal uses like surfing, doing work but not playing games.

  Looks like your PC is going to die liao, how old is it? Also to solve the restarting problem, try cleaning it. Probably too hot liao...
