Gene, I had a thing like this a couple weeks ago with one of my office computers. To make a long story short, the power supply capacitor was preparing to blow its top which, apparently, caused ripple on the 5 V supply line which was litterally "counted" by some chip on the mobo. The breakdowns were able to be predicted on the second, I checked them with an excel sheet made from the breakdown times the error messages gave me. Replace the final capacitor by a heavy duty, high temperature, high current cap (or two in parallel) in the PS and you'll be out of trouble.
