Newer machines support hardware monitoring of voltage levels, fan speeds, etc. 
See whether you can get one of the motherboard monitors running, and see whether 
  the voltage rails from the power supply are sagging out of tolerance when you 
put a heavy load on-- say 10% for most, or going outside of 5% for Vcore.
