Unfortunately true (not that it's a new phenomenon, but it seems to be
becoming more common). While it is often difficult to decide which information
is relevant and which is not (after all, if the poster new that, he probably
would not need to ask for help), I agree with the following:

After all, if you don't think this information is relevant, you should not
be posting to this list, because it's off-topic. Both of these are necessary
to determine your exact BackupPC environment.

I assume he wants to be called "Error". That's fine with me.
So, to add my two cents to the original problem: from the information you
provide, I'd say it *is* in fact *not* a BackupPC problem. Your CPU seems to
be overheating. Do you experience any other crashes? Try running Folding@Home,
for instance, which is known to make a CPU run quite hot (highly optimized
code).
It could, of course, be a number of other things, but your information pretty
much guides us to this conclusion, so that's what you get (which is not to say
I don't believe it could be true).
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Holger
