yes, do

taking the cover off will not necessarily help this.
is the cpu heat sink properly seated?
if needed does it have heat sink compound?

also tail you log files
xtail /var/log/* or something like that
maybe some clues there.

if all fails start pulling hardware out
remove everything not really needed 512mb
video keyboard. see if that helps
if it does start adding stufff til it breaks

also start the box crank the cpu, see it that speeds it up

that's all i can think off for now
