BTW pet hair should be a concern for every PC user who has their case
sitting on the floor. Most case pull air in at the bottom.

The problem has been solved.

I explained the problem to my computer-illiterate wife, and said I
thought the CPU was overheating becasue the fans weren't working for
some reason. She looked at me pathetically and reminded me we have
cats ... and cats have ... fur ...

Popped the lid, blew the cat hair out of the fans and the machine runs
perfectly. Duuuh!

Thanks for everyone who tried to help.
