Have you monitored your fans, to see if they are working properly? This
happened to one of my boxes here, with an Abit motherboard. It blew during
one of the heatwaves, with this exact behaviour as a result. It had an
onboard fan, on the south bridge, which stopped working properly.
A heat of 55 degrees does not suggest that it's the CPU ... that's well
below the perimeter for an AMD XP. Check your Bios weather it's set to alarm
you when the cpu is overheating ... a very useful function. It may also be
set a bit low, since that function can also "shutdown" the system if
exceeding the upper margin (on any decent mb).
