Well, you could simply unplug the cdrom and other unused stuff from the
machine and see if that helps.
I double an idle cdrom drive is going to draw a noticeable amount of power,
though.
Have you tried removing and replacing the RAM, as Wilko suggested earlier?
If the contacts are very dirty you can carefully clean them with a glass
fibre brush. Watch for static electricity, though. :-)
You may want to do the same with the cache chips, if they're DIP format.
