I agree with Trevius totally.
The things that I have found in the past that caused these types of things in the past.
1) Faulty stick of ram - for the same reasons Trevius stated.
2) Overheating or bad processor - Processors do not go out often but working in a retail repair environment I did see them go bad and everyone of them was AMD.
3) Bad power supply - Often when you hit a certain load the power supply will reset and reboot the machine. Crazy as it sounds I do see reboots caused by a flaky power supply.
EQ1 is horribly depending on the processor and will tack a single core at 100 percent, so this is harder on a single core processor. I will almost bet it is a heat problem.
