My duron 1.3G does the same thing as soon as it hits around 70 degrees
C. I improved it a bit with a bigger fan, but it still does it. I've
been told that my particular chip runs the hottest of the AMD's, and
that later models make a lot less heat. By running it with the side
cover off it runs a lot cooler, so I can do kernel compiles no worries
now. But anything like Setiathome, video processing, or encoding a batch
of MP3's causes a reboot.
I know yours isn't an AMD, but on the AMD web site there is a good PDF
that runs through how to design a good cooling setup. Sorry I don't have
a link handy, but I think I found it through Google.
