After an hour or so's warcraft this afternoon it crashed again. But this time, I was keeping records! courtesy of speedfan:

http://www.forceforgood.co.uk/junk/wowtemp1.pngThat's every temperature reading it had, playing with the casing open. None are labelled "gpu" or "graphics" etc. So I guess the card could be... remote or aux maybe?
For comparative purposes, here on the desktop CPU is 45C and everything else around 40-45. Again it can happily sit there all night without any problems.
I don't have a record of fan speeds but here idling on the desktop it says;
Sys fan: 1339rpm
CPU0 fan: 1223rpm
Aux0, Cpu1 and Aux1 are all 0rpm.
It's hard to see inside the case right now but I think it looks like the graphics card fan is going around.
Also I was mistaken earlier - the sound cuts out too a little while after the screen blanks. I can't alt-tab out. Looks like the whole thing has shut down.

The CPU temperature is most likely "Core".
You can check what device those labels belong to (and also change them to be more descriptive) in the configuration screen, under Temperature. It will list what device it belongs to under "Chip".
Mine used to be Core / NVVidia Video Card, but I renamed it to something ore useful to help differentiate it from "Core 0" and "Core 1" (CPU cores).

Ah ok.
Looks like Core is the CPU, yeah.
Local and Remote say F75383, which a bit of research says "is a temperature sensor IC with alert signal which is specific designed for notebook, graphic cards etc". If I expand the tree (speed01, speed02 etc) it says Winbond W83627EHF which is apparently some other sort of sensor.
System, CPU, Aux are all Winbond W83627EHF with more of the same if I expand.

Some other details:
Motherboard: MSI K9A Platinum Crossfire (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20GHz
I did a bit of reading and.. I don't think those temperatures are dangerous?

Those old AMD CPU's tend to get unstable above 50c
