I've had that happen, when the fans get dusty they run slower, and not only the fans but the vent holes start to get "fuzzed". I could tell you horror stories of pc's I've been asked to look at because of restarts and lock-ups, The worst I've heard about was because it was kept on a thick carpet compounded by the family cat that liked to sleep next to it's warm,purring, surrogate mama. My buddy said he pulled out enough fur to make a kitten.
