The 2460 systems (and many other dual athlon systems) are very sensitive
to temperature.
I'm writing this mail from a 2460 with a 62 day uptime and a load that
frequently exceeds 10.
The system I have here has a 12 cm fan (40 ltr/sec) mounted on the front
of the case for better air-intake. This was a hardware hack we applied
after realizing the box would melt itself without some excessive
cooling.

Can it happen during boot, if you let the system cool down for an hour
before powering it on ?
Also be sure that the PSU is big enough.
