Hmm - the OP reported that memtest86 wasn't showing problems - I think that 
hits only one processor but in my experience actually drives the CPU hotter 
than mprime does. In any case an overheating CPU should start triggering 
errors from mprime (excess rounding errors etc) well before it gets to the 
point of spontaneously rebooting.
