The fact it happens only during high CPU demand, I would suggest checking that the heatsink is connected ok. Many boards have some sort of an alarm regarding over temerature (check to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS). If they don't, the CPU just overheats, and freezes, and there's nothing you could do about it. It might be system overheat too - You should check it out. Try openning the computer case, and touching with your hand (and see if you can make it longer then 10 seconds) to the CPU heatsink. If you can (and you did it immedatley after the computer froze), it's not overheat.
Let's try to see it from a different point of view - What didn't you change betwin the two computers? Ez.
