Yes. They can get hot and fail only once a certain temperature is 
reached. They can have a bad PSU which only periodically falls over. 
They can fail under heavy load if poorly designed.  As they age, all of 
this can get worse as the components get stressed by repeated heating 
and cooling. etc etc
