Pismos are notorious for having motherboard problems caused by inadequate heat sinks. As the processor works, the accumulated heat builds up and can start to burn. Yes, with cute little wisps of smoke and everything...
This happened to my former co-worker, who was working on a website design, went to grab a snack, and saw those little smoke signals spiraling up from his machine. Check to see if this motherboard/chipset was replaced with one that runs cooler...
Apple used to quietly replace them for a couple of hundred bucks, but I'm not sure what recourse you have if bought through a re-seller. It's definitely worth checking out. Also, search the Mac user board for the problem, which first surfaced about four years ago...
good luck
