 My QS 2002 came down with kernel panics etc. and after a lot of searching 
discovered it was caused by over-heating due to the fact the MB heat sink 
cooling fan was not working. I ordered a new fan and while I was waiting for 
delivery cooled the heat sink by running with the side door open and a small 
electric fan blowing on the heat sink. Worked fine and I kept track of 
operating temperatures with a down loaded temp. read out. After receiving the 
fan I removed and reseated the heat sink then installed the new fan. New fan 
came with out a plug on it so save the old fan. As I recall the new fan cost 
about $15.00. This was several years ago and the QS is still working fine. A 
wonderful machine.
Hope this helps.
