Would there be any way to confirm this?  Some way to log it?

Also, is there a way to get the machine to boot up automatically after 
such a failure?

I'm still not really convinced it's overheating, as it *is* in a 
climate-controlled room...  there's a pretty good sized air conditioner 
in the room and it stays pretty cool.  It also isn't running with very 
much CPU utilization, no more than 20%, usually.  Most of the time it's 
just sitting around, so it shouldn't be heating up.

This is a machine that ran for months at a time running OS X, using 
much more CPU in a warmer room with no problems...

FYI, the machine is a 500MHz G4 revision 2.9... detected as "65 
(PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics")

Thanks for the help so far...
