i had a very similiar problem (except with windows me). it was caused by bad sectors on the hdd, in effect this caused the hdd to work much harder while searching for data causing overheating and therefore damaging the motherboard.mine would freeze while installing from the cdrom or basically anytime or then sometimes would work for a few days without freezing.Try using scandisk (surface scan) in dos using the command (c:scandisk/all). this will scan the entire hard disk including any hidden partitions.
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
