I was expecting to open it up and find leaky capacitors, but everything on the motherboard appears to be pristine.  Any suggestions?

Capacitors would have my first guess as well. Did you try touching components to see if anything is hotter than normal?

One word: Capacitors.

Check the psu voltages.

I'd say dried up caps, it's not as obvious to spot as leaking/buldging ones.

It must be drawing too many amps, be careful. Check every part of the motherboard.
