Comment 135 for bug 22336

Gotta tell you all that I decided to take the laptop that was shutting down
and take it apart. I vacuumed the fins of the heat-sync's, removed CPU and
putt a fresh dab of heat-sync paste, and that bad-boy has no further issues!

The fan hardly ever comes on anymore but it is stable and not hot.

Hope this helps others.
