Maybe your CPU fan got dusty. Try clean it and get cpuburn. If your computer does not survives hours of cpuburn, it is a sign for a inadequate cooling or a dying PSU. If your computer locks up, while doing PSU stressing things (like a lot of harddisk accesses), I would try and change that. Additionally cleaning all fans and the contacts of memory&pci cards is not a bad idea, some oxide there, accumulated the last month, may be responsible for the funniest types of errors.
