i.e. Make sure the CPU fan is spinning, heatsink isn't loose or full of dust, re-seat all cards and connectors, etc.?

Also put a voltmeter on the power supply and make sure the voltages are within spec. If you have an oscilloscope, you could also check to make sure your output is still clean DC and, that there are no strayings or AC spikes getting through.
