First, if the machine came with a formated HDD and installed software, it *
PROBABLE* has virus(viri) on it, get an antivirus (like scan) and check it, 
that behavior can be caused by several viruses.  Or you have a heat 
problem, some chip or card will only work when cold.  

Does the PS fan blow hot air? (if it *SUCKS* air, you have a defective PS), 
can you hold your finger on the i486 (and all the other big chips) without 
burning it?
