Michael,
55c IS quite hot. You're not overclocking are you? If possible, can
you experment with ways to cool that CPU better, possibly with any/all of:
* Underclocking your CPU (run it at 2.0-2.2 GHz, for example)
* Different CPU cooler
* Different case fan
* Taking off the case cover and turning a small desktop fan to blow
across the mobo/CPU
(all at your own risk, of course!)
Then re-try some of your operations that caused failure.
Also, look for things like too-aggressive memory settings (CAS 2 when
your memory needs CAS-3, for example).
Good luck!
