Thanks for that Daugirdas. In your particular case, I pop off the keyboard and check that the CPU heatsink is bonded correctly to the CPU using a layer of thermal glue or a thermal pad.

The machine shouldn't be able to overheat itself /that/ quickly, and something is causing the CPU's last-resort thermal trip diode to kick in.

(Yes, I've heard reports of 2? (I think) machines where overheating issues were caused by a missing pad at manufacture time and I've personally come across two machines on the second-hand market where the heat-sinks had been stuck back on with *blue tack* by the previous owner...).
