I like Linux, alot. I mean alot. I like what it stands for (besides
the corporations). But my CPU has never overheated. I am pretty sure
that it is not my hardware. It could be a bug in Linux. The kernel
could be be sending incorrect frequencies to the hardware or something
like that.

Kind Regards,
Preston

My CPU had never overheated before then too. I too was pretty sure it
was not my hardware, but after I failed to find confirmation that it
was a software prob, I checked my hardware. Have you?

Get it to overheat, fast reboot, and check what the BIOS says. If it
is really Linux, use an older Kernel version where the over heating
didn't occur.

Franky, in the end I was just happy that Linux alerted me of the problem.
