That is generally caused by a hardware problem: bad fan, bad ram, a power
supply that is getting ready to croak, etc.

As it turns out, something else is is getting flaky now. The machine
is restarting intermittently for no obvious reason. That may be a
motherboard about to die, or Windows about to die? Either way, I just
bought another box at the Salvation Army store for $10 and will try it.
Thanks to all who responded.
