Thanks for the aid, but i have an update: There is no a thermal
problem, but an motherboard thing:
The fan behavour is a synpthom, not a cause. There is that the system
falls down, and turns averything off, including the fan. Well, it
looks as the motherboard have some electronic hardware failure, that
when reached by the system, it cause a collapse. Looks like thermic,
because when cold, it stands longer, but now i think it is some kind
of broken soldering, or false contact, yhat because when it fails, and
the CDrom reader repeatedly starts spinning, a sparking noise
occasionally comes from some part of the M.B.
Any ideas, anybody?
In this moment, i'm ready to quit, and sugest replacement of the
mainboard.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks to all.

I think you're best bet would be to buy a motherboard on ebay. I see
a bunch up there right now for $90.
