the whole working period. So it happens out of the blue, no time

That is most likely to be a thermal problem. Once I had a PCMCIA
network card that stopped working after 30 minutes in a particular
room of the house -- it turned out that the temperature was a bit
higher there, and the cooling just could not cope with it.
In the meantime I also do believe that the problem could be of heating
too much. I called the guye who does bigger repairs for me on the PB
and he said no that can't be he never saw a Pismo overheating or
having
a broken fan or tempretaure messurement.
He gave blame to the System (Debian) which I don't believe....
I remember having problems with my pismo a couple of month ago with
casual kernel crashes. I first though of a heating problem, because
I had not heart the fan for quite a long time. Well it wasn't. It
finally was fixed by a new kernel (must be around 2.6.5).
After that it worked without problems and the fan hasn't moved a bit
till today. Sometimes I tend to believe the fan is simply broken, but
the system has been quite often under heavy load without any problems,
ever after 4 years of almost daily use.
