 PC shutdown - due to overheating? - Bromptonaut
If heat might be a problem then, as Z says, cleaning out the case will improve airflow and thus cooling.

Dust builds up around fans, cooling fins etc. Open case abd use a vacuum on low power and with crevice nozzle attached to remove loose dust. One of those airbrush cans will shift stuff in the heat sink fins etc.
