This sounds a lot like overheating -- have you checked to make sure that the CPU
fan is still functional? Make sure the CPU fan is still running, also that the
PS fan is still fully functional... if this is the case, the fix will be
relatively inexpensive. 

You might also check your system logs to see what kind of errors you're getting
before the machine locks up. It might also help do know what hardware you have
(CPU, RAM, video card, motherboard, etc.) in case others have had similar
problems...
