(Get the code!)
I suspect that this - at least in my case - may be more than just acpi/throttling.
I've been running Windows XP on my 5024wlmi (AMD64 Turon ML34 ATI Mobility Radeon X700) for the last year or so, and while my machine has run hot, even on over night, as usual on bittorrent type deals, its never given me any trouble.
So i want to do some serious work, and decided to finally convert to a 64bit Linux distro, which is one of the reasons why i bought it.
Now every attempt i have made to do this has been after a few hours of doing stuff on Windows - email, music, podcasts etc.
I attempt to run a liveCD, and it shuts down very quickly. I switch to console mode to see why, and i'm told my machine is running at 102 degrees and linux must shut down. Probably Impossible numbers, but there you go.
I have had this similar problem when i try to use the Ubuntu, Kbuntu, Kbuntu64 and DSL live cd's which i tried one after the other.
