I dismounted both cpu-modules completely and found a damaged capacitor (beginns to run-out). I have now to purchase one and to change - then we will see whether this solves the problem.
Good luck with this one. I heard that CPU module is a hard nut to solder. One of my friends (a skilled one with electronics) did a G5 CPU module recap for me and said that it's a multi-layer board filled with a lot of copper. It dissipates the heat like crazy. Be sure to pre-heat the PCB well.
