Dirt?
A friends son took his computer to a shop to be fixed and after charging him $80 it failed in a week; they bought a new one. I took it and the inside was so packed with dirt and dust (6-8 yrs old?) and that killed the power supply, you could smell the fried semiconductors. I jumped in a good power supply and retrieved all their data for them.

If it's dirty, clean it and look for any fans that seem to be slowing down. Those cpu fans are notorious for slowing down.
