4) heat ... If your CPU fan is not spinning the system will overheat and shut itself down (if you're lucky) or fry itself (which means a new CPU, new motherboard &c .. however, since you didn;t mention smoke and a bad smell, it hasn;t fried yet)
4a) Heat sink(s) clogged with dust Personal experience leads me to claim this one is insidious, since unless you remove the CPU heat-sink fan and blow out the heat sink, you probably have no idea how much dust is in there, And though the fan happily spins, it moves almost no air through the heat sink. My system went from working fine to slightly instable to completely useless in less than a day!
