Possible faulty RAM module? Try running with one removed and then the other.

Are you using OS X or OS 9?

Ensure you have good airflow possible around the iMac - especially at the bottom.

Does it run for longer if you try to keep it cool with a desk fan - if yes then you have an overheating problem.

Did you try removing a RAM module?

Thanks - I'm glad it worked.

RAM is not too expensive these days so you may want to get a 512MB module.
