someone out there must have diagnosed and FIXED their m9700 aurora problem. It started out happening every 20 minutes - now happening every 5 minutes. Any suggestions?

clean out your GPU and CPU heatsinks with compressed air and also reapply your thermal grease to you GPU and CPU sounds like its overheating and shutting down...

Only issue I've had with my m9700 is the cpu overheating after the thermal compound dried and cracked.

Open the back, remove the cpu fan/heatsink, clean it and apply new thermal grease (I recommend Arctic Silver 5, check Newegg.com). Keep the fans and radiators clean, and your issue should end if that's the cause.
