OK- if it doesn't happen during light computing stuff, and only with very cpu
intensive stuff like compiling, I feel virtually certain it is a cpu heat
issue. IMHO, there's not really any other reasonable explanation.
Have you investigated the cpu voltage setting in the bios (if your Asus board
has one to adjust it)? It's probably set at default for the cpu, but if it's
set too high, that will cause cpu overheating, especially with a borderline
heatsink/fan. I'm not sure what the default voltage of your cpu should be-
look it up on the net, or it is coded on the cpu numbers, if you have the
code. For example, the Athlon 64 3200+ has a default operating voltage of
1.50 volts. This link shows an example of the cpu codes written on the chips,
and what the markings mean.
