I agree with gabep. Stick in another case fan venting out near the top and that should take care of your problem. Also check that you don't have a lot of dust and blockage of your vents and fan blades inside the case.

Don't use a vacuum cleaner to clean it. There was a post here recently that a person used a vacuum and the generated static electricity killed something in the machine.

Answered your own question. Dust is a very good heat insulator. Get a can of compressed air.

Has this problem happened since DAY ONE? Or just recently?

If it has happened from day one it is within cmos/bios settings from the manufacturer. You have to change your power option w/in power save in the bios setup. If it just started to do that, then you either have a power supply going out or a dust problem. My suggestion would be to do the cheaper first. (can of air and blow out the dust everywhere including power supply fan and vents.
