Presumably you have already blown the dust out of it and reseated all the obvious suspect components. If the motherboard has a "shutdown on overheat" option that may now have a value set low enough that it stops the machine in the warmer room. If you didn't explicitly set it to that value then suspect the motherboard battery - change it, reset the BIOS, and all should be well. If the machine has a hardware status monitor in the BIOS check there too for out of range temperatures. (Odd that your machine room is much hotter than your office.)
