I just noticed this bug.

I have the same problem. If I run a CPU intensive task, my laptop switches off.
 If I want to recompile the kernel for instance, I have to keep hitting
control-Z to pause the job.

I used to run both Windows XP and Mandrake Linux and didn't see the problem in
either of those.
