Dear Ulrike,

this smells like defective RAM. You can test it with e.g. memtest86 
( http://www.memtest86.com/ ). You can also use a Knoppix CD if you 
have one laying around; just type "memtest" on the boot screen.

The fans are also worth checking; Sometimes they fail, sometimes they 
get blocked by something.

HTH,

Michael
