It does sound like hardware. I'd check three things first: 1) Are all the fans in the system working? 2) Check for swollen or leaking capacitors (see http://www.trendit.co.za/capacitor.htm). This is *really* common, so don't discount it until you've checked. 3) Run memtest86 overnight. If none of these seem to be the cause, I'd try swapping power supplies next.
