At one time my computer started to produce these errors.  The problem
was that the carpet fuzz lint had built up so much upon the heatsinks
that it could no longer adequately cool.  On my system I was able to
clean the carpet lint out of the heatsink and this resolved the
problem.  You might try increasing the airflow.  If your fans are not
monitored then double check that they are spinning.  A failed fan
would reduce the airflow significantly.
