I presume you are running off a/c power and not the battery? It sounds like a hardware issue (of course). I would try taking the battery out (yes.. its been the battery before for me). I would also try removing the hard drive and if you can without too much trouble the dvd drive. If you have more than one stick of ram take out one of the two. Also make sure you haven't got the fans covered and that all the fans are working.
