Perhaps, but nowadays malware is the first suspect when a user
complains of a PC suddenly slowing down or stopping without any
obvious explanation.

Severe disk problems can cause this too. If your power supply has not
been providing clean power for any reason, the risk of disk failure is
somewhat increased. Using a UPS can reduce the risks (for every part
of the PC, but particularly disk drives).
