I think you need to pick the computer up and shift the world
beneath it (possibly to a new universe), then set it down.
Realistically, if you are continuing to have those kinds of
problems, see if you left the paper protector film on the heatsink where
it meets up against the cpu.
It sounds like to me the cpu is overheating and shutting down.
You could also be accidentally overclocking the cpu past what it should
be. This would exihibit the same symptoms.
I once had a fan failure at 100mhz on a pentium. It died after 1
to 3 minutes of run time. At 75mhz just the heat sink alone is enough to
keep it running forever, even if the fan dies. Since it was a proxy
server and raw speed difference between 75 and 100 was not enough to
cause problems, I left it at that speed. It runs at 75 mhz today, quite
happily.
