Jakub,
just a wild guess... but it sounds like a thermal problem... can you 
verify if the CPU fan is running? High X usage would produce more heat 
than being in a console - thus longer working time in a console before 
failure.

I guess you'd be able to confirm hardware problems if it isn't working 
right under W2K either :-(

Maybe you could download the Maintenance Manual from www.pc.ibm.com to 
figure out how to open the ThinkPad and maybe check the fan that way.
