Willy,

I had a similar problem  while ago, but I am not sure that it is identical,
though. In the end I discovered that my Pentium chip was overheating owing
to a malfunctioning fan. I bought a new fan and clipped it on, and my
troubles were at an end. In your part of the world (California?) it should
not cost you much more than say $4 or so. At that price it is probably worth
a try.

Inspect your motherboard first though - the fan might just have slipped a
bit and may not be cooling the chip properly.

Good luck.
