What about cleaning inside the computer for dust, motherboard, all cards,
the processor fan/all fans and the powersupply?

Sounds to me as if the EDS cards are getting too hot.
Leave PC's cover off for a while, and even add a fan to cool the
innards.
Power supplies are cheap.
It's worth considering a replacement, even if this is not the
core problem. You may find that a new supply will be more efficient,
and not generate as much heat.
Worst case... old supplies can go "poof", and fry your mobo and/or peripherals.
(EDS cards!).
Least case... you will have a supply that is up to spec
for the next couple of years, thereby eliminating age related
voltage drop. You don't need to buy anything expensive.
Even a low-end Antec, Thermaltake or similar, is going to be
better than a generic P/S that comes standard with cheap cases.
I have a 4 EDS system here, and in hot weather, I leave the side
panel off, and even blu-tacked a fan to the bottom of the case,
blowing over the EDS's.
Heat, (especially with multiple EDS's), could well be the enemy.
