Actually, I had this happen recently. Check your CPU fan. (:

I had a dual P3 machine that was operating at tiny CPU loads, but as soon 
as I did something compute-intensive (e.g. compiling the kernel), the 
machine would tank. It turned out that both of my CPU fans were dead.

Something to check, anyway.
