David, Just had a friend walk in so I asked him... He had the same problem and it was because the CPU fan had gotten worn down and wasn't cooling the CPU as well as it used to (plus a lot of the k-6 fans were flaky to start) His suggestion is to (his words not mine) open up the case stick a destop fan blowing into the box. If that changes the time before it crokes... it's the fan. Or if you don't want such a crude test get one of the cylindrical(sp?) fans on the market now put it in and try it out that way. Fans cheaper and easier to find than a k-6 mobo these days.
