The Cores were idling at 90+ C. No overclocking, all stock OEM Intel.
Which is insane because there was no obvious symptoms until I reinstalled XP the first time. A careful examination of the interior didn't turn up anything unusual that would explain it. And a 125 psi air blast through the heat sink and fan assembly (ducted to the CPU, GPU, and BUS) only resulted in a token amount of dust. So I either missed what was causing it or dust is even more evil than I remember.
The Cores idle down around 55 C now. Which still seems on the high side for sub 5% CPU use.
Anyway, other than a battery death kill, this is the only thing I've ever had go wrong with it in almost five years of abusing it.
