It DOESN'T happen with loads that produce a lot more heat than my

Whilst I also doubt it's hardware, it's worth noting that flash
(or other multimedia workload) is likely to stress different areas
of the CPU than makeworld,
I was responding to the heat question, not cpu load. Other than that,
you're right of course. :)
Have you checked to see if there's a BIOS upgrade available?
Yes I have, and no there isn't.
Other possibilities:
- Have you tried running a uniprocessor kernel?
That one I haven't tried, thanks for the suggestion!
- If your CPU supports LM, have you tried an amd64 kernel?
I haven't, mostly because in the past some things I wanted were not
available in amd64. I'm running a C2D in i386/SMP. Trying amd64 is a bit
more of a jump, but when I get my HD repartitioned I can try 7.3 i386
and -current amd64 ... back to the drawing board ...
