Subject: Spontaneous Shutdown/Reboot on AMD x86_64

My computer spontaneously reboots or just shuts down for some reason. 
I've looked on the internet and have found some posts on the subject but 
it's way beyond my ability to understand. I tried to compile a new 
kernel to see if this would solve the issue but my system reboots every 
time. I can't finish the compile process. I can't play any graphically 
intensive games or the system will reboot. And if the computer is on for 
more than a week or so it will also just shut down. I had a bad hard 
drive and ended up having to re-install slackware on a new drive. So I 
took the opportunity to upgrade to the AMD Dual core. That's when all 
this started. Below is my system information. I would really appreciate 
any help you can render. These reboots will eventually destroy my hard 
drive if I can't get this fixed.

Respectfully
