Best Answer

Lack of ventilation ! The processor and memory chips inside a computer - generate large amounts of heat while they're working, and the only way excess heat can escape - is out of the case. This is why you should always make sure the ventilation slots in the case are never obstructed.

Probably the issue is anything having to do with the fan that cools the CPU. It can become clogged with dust, lack ventilation or just fail.
