Check to see if there's any dust in the fan or heatsink.

What an odd coincidence. My sibling's computer's been experiencing the same problems lately.
We came to the same conclusion all of the previous posters have already stated: open it up and clean out the dust.
Not sure when we're going to get around to actually doing it, though, since the PC is almost always in use. =/
