Ok, so no kernel panics then. I have read on the Apple discussion  
boards that if there were over heating that there would be a 'Thermal  
runaway' entry in the logs. None about that either.

The only other hint at the discussion boards was bad ram. I do have  
512MB of third party RAM in there... Unfortunately I don't want to  
have to survive how many days with only 512MB to see if it happens  
again.
