Hottest day of the year so far. Had a look at the fan intake: any dust? If so, off with the case cover and have a look at the CPU. My old pc shut down a couple of summers back - I was astonished to see how much compacted fluff filled the gaps between the fins on the heat sink... and the fan looked as if someone had coated it in felt.
