<div>I thought this at first too, so I took the computer apart and blew it out with my air compressor. I reseated the cpu heatsink with a fresh batch of thermal grease (and found that I had done it wrong to begin with, now it's covering the whole top of the processor); I thought for sure this was it, but then it continued to crash. I implemented sensord to watch the temps and I logged it every 5 minutes so I could see if the temps were peaking when it crashed. Alas, they were not.</div>
