I've had the same problem here with my 667, the computer was overheating the
fan would go crazy, and the computer would crash, I took it to the apple
dealer repair center here, they told my that my hard disk needed to be
replaced, I did that, and since everything is back to normal, no more crash,
no more overheating, no more problems... I suggest that you check up your
hard disk ( it was a mechanical problem, so no detection of bad behavior via
software).

Good luck
