Recently, I bought a aerosol can of compressed air (used for cleaning electronics.) I sprayed a finely directed burst of air in one of the side airvents of the laptop and a cloud of dust came out the other vent. LIkewise, I sprayed another burst of air in the other side airvent and again a cloud of dust came out the other side. Now the laptop cpu operates about 20 degrees C cooler and has not exhibited the problem since.
Appears to be solved for me at this point. However, I do plan on hanging on to Hardy as others appear to be having this problem in Jaunty. I probably will wait for 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx to upgrade. For me, this appears to have been caused by excessive dust obstructing airflow.
