Yeah... sounds like an over heating problem to me too.

One suggestion is to check how much thermal grease is under the heatsink on both the CPU and the Northbridge. I know many manufacturers don't put enough thermal compound under the heatsink. If you don't have a HS on your Northbridge, then you can easily get one at CompUSA for around 20 bucks.

You say "all the fans are working" but how many do you have? I currently have a total of 5 fans on my machine. One in the front, one in the back, one in the top, one on the CPU and one on the NB. The more the better.

Good luck.
