[quote IronMac][quote MacMagus]If you have a QS, there's more than one fan. There's one for the PSU and one for the CPU. Either fan could be clogged with dust. Clean/blow-out both before starting up your Mac.
Yep, I have a 933 (great machine but getting a bit long in the tooth) and a couple of years ago it started to act "flakey"...went through all of the rigmarole and found out in the end that the CPU fan was totally clogged up. That's why I almost always immediately suggest it might be overheating.
Indeed, I had to replace the CPU cooling fan in my QS last year as it was dying a horrible noisy squeeling death! got a new one from here:

It's the first fan on the page, about $14.95 shipped (and quick too!).
