The same thing happened with one of my computers too. It turned out to
be the little fan on the motherboard.  It was working for awhile-then
we moved the computer, forgot that the fan wasnt screwed in, and it
started over again.  Make sure the fan is where it is supposed to be,
that the power wires are still welded on, and that it is working.  if
it's not the fan, i don't know..
