Maybe. I had this once, and it turned out that the CPU generated so much
heat that the memory modules didn't like it, and so everything either
segfaulted, or a total lockup like the one you describe, occured.
66C is a little warm. I would have a look at your memory chips, identify
them, google for the specs, and compare their heat tolerant levels against
the temperature the CPU is at.
