There were three "original" graphic cards inside, ATI Rage 128,  
nvidia 2MX and ATI Radeon. Radeon had a fan that usually died after a  
while and the card overheated. Same could happen with 2MX, less  
likely with Rage 128.

I am pretty certain it's the graphic card. Check the System Profiler  
for the card you have inside.
