Sure!

I copied lshw's output to the end of this mail.

If X runs, then it dies and only a blank console with a cursor at the
upper left corner can be seen for half a minute; then reboot starts.
Otherwise, there's a longish message on the console about a machine
check exception, saying a lot of things, such as 'panic occurred,
switching back to text console'. This is the message that mentions
mcelog. It also warns about a reboot in 30 seconds, and indeed reboots
in 30 secs. I'd love to capture the whole message, but by this time
the machine is unresponsive, and 30 seconds is way too short for me to
copy it all.

See the output of lshw below. The video card is Nvidia Geforce
7300GT, with the nouveau driver. (Back when it all started with F13, I
tried the nvidia driver, but it didn't help.)

SMART was silent with F13. In F14 I've only just installed smartmontools.
As for voltage levels: this is what sensors says about them (if this
is what you mean):
it8718-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
in0: +1.15 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in1: +1.90 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in2: +3.34 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in3: +2.93 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in4: +0.22 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in5: +0.00 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM
in6: +1.26 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
in7: +3.09 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
Vbat: +4.08 V
I have no idea what these numbers mean; that ALARM looks alarming, but
it is (and as far as I can remember, has been) there all the time.
The BIOS (and sensors) also say that the fan in the power supply
doesn't work, but it does.

The crashes seem to happen more frequently when I'm doing something
interactively (even if it's just browsing, running yum). This morning
it was running for hours under heavy load with no problems, but
crashed a few minutes after I started interacting with it.
And now the output of lshw:
