If your filament is grinding in the feeder and thusly not feeding, it is probably a tension thing.
If your printcore is not heating up enough to properly melt the plastic, it may be having to use too much force to get the filament through.
If your feeder is too loose or tight, it can grind the filament. Here is one link for info on this.

Since you say it is a two year old machine, then I took a guess, but the idea remains the same as far as I have found.
Be aware that different makes and colors of materials can have slightly different properties.
