I agree with Martin. This sounds very much like a temperature related
problem.
Indeed it is exactly what would happen with an overheated CPU.
Air movement is a significant consideration in Apple's internal case
design, so DO ensure that you are cooling the system adequately. Another
thing to consider is the heatsink. Could you have knocked it ? If all else
fails, try reseating it and refreshing the heatsink compound.
