Have you tried opening up the case and dusting off the fan?  This has
happened to me before (I nearly had a heart attack when it did!), and
after opening up the case and dusting off the fan blades, voila!  It
started working again.

I'm a heavy cigarette smoker, so my computer is hardly in the
healthiest environment for it.  Periodic cleaning does help, though.

YMMV, of course.  :-)
