There are only two systems on the LAN, both in my house, and neither is
accessible from the Net.

I run setiathome under a special user account reserved for that purpose, from
the console (usually).  According to SETI's web page, it churns out a work unit
every 5 hours and 40 minutes.  I've never used the X version.  It had gone
through about 10 work units non-stop at the time of the mysterious reboot.

If it were a temperature problem, I wouldn't expect it to take days to show up.

I don't know how hot this processor is supposed to run.  I looked around on the
Web a bit, and all the maximum temperatures are considerably above my measured
temperature, usually closer to 70-80 degrees, sometimes 90.
