How old is it? Do you keep it running for long periods of time?

I have a Fujitsu N3010 that runs most of the time as a desktop replacement.
About 3 months ago, it started shuting down on it's own and I discovered
that the fans had collected a lot of dust and needed to be cleaned out. Once
this was done, it works fine.

FWIW, most of the Fujitsu laptops I am familiar with use an SiS chipset.
