There are a few steps you should try, first of all, you might want to
download memtest86, an open source memory tester, and test your system
memory. Also, most BIOS nowdays have the ability to show you the CPU and
system temperature, while it will be a little lower than actual running
temps, it will be a decent indicator of what the temperature was

(Your 1.4ghz Athlon shouldn't be any higher than 140F, below 130F is a good
temperature, mine hovers at 118F in a cool room under light load)

you can also try lm_sensors in linux, which will read the temperature from
the onboard sensors for you.

You should also try removing all non essential components from the system
while testing, putting them back in one-by-one (including extra sticks
of RAM)

Basicly:

heat
memory
bad components

If the problems continue even after testing components, you can try another
CPU/RAM stick in the system, before you go about the task of removing the actual
motherboard.
