I wouldn't recommend that. Get an air compressor, clean it out, but don't open it up, not safe. 

true the prebuilt psus are TERRIBLE

Can you move it back to the kitchen and see if it reoccurs? My thought is that the wiring in the house may be faulty, but that would be really weird.

nope, a pc builder in my town. although my experience with them was pretty bad and i think they're pretty incompetent honestly. also if the psu is the problem why would it work in the kitchen?

Power supplies have to convert the power from the wall outlet to the PC. So whatever it takes in, it has to change and deliver cleanly. This is where the "efficiency" rating comes in. If it's not very efficient at it, it might not be able to keep up. The worse the wall power is, the "dirtier" it is, the more difficult the conversion. If his kitchen has better wiring or can give more power (which is very possible, especially since large things like refrigerators are in kitchens), the PSUs ability to "clean" it won't be tested as much.
