I still have to agree that it is likely thermal. You may have a marginal device/chip on your motherboard. Although 85c is the standard for general/commerical temp testing/release of chips, some are tested at room temp but characterized in development over temp, so a marginal one could have slipped by during a fabrication/assembly probe. If it is marginal then it is unpredictable regardless of the amount of time running. That may not be it, but it sounds like it - at least a possibility- not something u want to hear. intermittent problems stink. I would start with a reformat - totally clean install. Don't touch sp2 for now. If it comes back, u may have to play the swap and test game on your hardware.
