99% likely to be a hardware problem, temperature or insufficient power. Install lm_sensors and see what it tells you.
lm_sensors is good, but it has a problem (at least in my experience): it gives strange values and you have to "tune" them, but since it's the only app that reads temp, voltages and so on, you don't have a program to compare the results with.
In windows is different: you have your mobo's software you can use to tune up apps like Motherboard Monitor.
Someone in the past suggested to use the values from the BIOS, but unfortunately the processor temperature changes very much and the same for voltages (they change less :-)), so you can't have the exact value (you could guess, but you would achieve no more than 3 *C precision).
Ideas?
