Message	Did you check the voltage going to the CPU to make sure it is correct, and also make sure the cooling fan is working properly? Another thing it could be is your motherboard. Some brands of motherboards use cheap electrolytic capacitors instead of the better, but more expensive tantalum capacitors, and they degrade over time and no longer are the same value they once were. Once they move far enough from spec, the board gets flakey and starts locking up.
