I had that same problem with a "barebones" computer with a VIA mobo.  I don't
know exactly which model it was, but the basic deal was the cooling was horrible
(1 small case fan, 1 small processor fan, that's it).  When I added a case fan
and an adapter to a bigger processor fan it ran like a champ (downtime only when
I wanted/needed to).  I recognize you're talking about small form factor
machines here so your options are more limited, but I'd guess from your symptoms
that you have the same problem and could have a similar (cheap) fix.
