I had similar problems with a past configuration.  Given that your machine is 
actually rebooting, and not too many choices for root cause of such behavior, I 
would initially want you to get a program such as speedfan which can give an 
accurate temperature per core, not just the overall CPU.

My best guess, given that prime95 runs on a single core only (subject to OS 
scheduling vagaries such as processor affinity --- but since you are on AMD, 
affinity is pretty much a given seeing how Windows treats AMD as a NUMA 
archicture), is that you are actually driving that one core above its internal 
thermal shutdown limit --- hence the reboot.

That's not actually a bad bit of information, Brian.  It appears to
exclude some sort of weird/basic architectural incompatibility - which
I would have had a hard time believing, but still.  Thanks.
