I would recommend attaching another FAN to the CPU and run the oscillator.
If it is going to fail due to a hardware timing problem, it will happen
all the time, not just after 10 minutes. It sounds like the CPU is slowly 
getting very hot..

It might not be a bad idea to add a couple of fans to the inside of the case
too...
