I suspect the exchanged chipset fan to be the problem. The hardware vendor assures there weren't any problems with the modified board so far. He claims linux is the culprit.
Linux can't be the culprit. Linux possibly stresses the hardware more then Windows and that additional stress is too much for the system.
Installing SuSE, in particular over a faster medium than CD/DVD, is among the most stressful things I ever do to a a computer. I have at times been forced to send SuSE CDs and detailed instructions to vendors so that they'll be able to trigger a problem NOTHING else will trigger. Which still doesn't make SuSE the culprit, a machine I can't install an OS on is broken and needs fixing - often it's been a case of too poor cooling and the combined CPU, disk, and network activity of a SuSE network install triggers it. More or less what Philipp is saying is likelty to be the problem here.
