Well....

I would have bet you guys money, and given odds, that the problem
*wasn't* heat-related.  However, today I took everything apart, cleaned
an incredible amount of dust from the power supply, CPU fan and CPU
heatsink, and put everything back together with new thermal paste.
Just finished playing about 30 minutes of Quake3 with no crashes.
Reported CPU temperatures from Everest are also greatly improved.

I'm thinking you guys got it right.  The next few days will tell.

Thanks!!

Tom Young
