cloudy and dusty, sounds your cells are contaminated.....just throw it off and start with new vial...change medium, trypsin and PBS when you take the new vial...it is advisable to sterilize the incubator as well.

I am sure it is not contamination.. Mostly because of maintaining conditions...I guess I Used lot of spirit to clean my hands before placing it in the incubator. so it caused the stress to them..
what do you say??
please discuss possibility for this or high medium or thawing(DMSO)....)
