I'm really confused by this bug...

On the one hand where before I could leave my laptop lying on its own rubber feet and not have it turn off due to heat, I need to raise it a few inches to ensure that there is sufficient airflow and that it does not shut down due to heat.

On the other hand NOTHING has changed on my computer except the OS. I use the same scripts and programmes as I did before.

On another note, the fan SEEMS to be running as fast as it always did. That is I can hear it running hard when the CPU gets hot.

So, I can't see where the problem lies!
