I've noticed this before, particularly when the system doesn't suspend as it's supposed to.
I've had it accidently on while in my backpack (with the vent facing north, of course),
and the backpack was noticably hotter than before I upgraded the CPU, with the same
problem. Sometimes it seems to shut itself down (assuming it has a thermistor that
shuts the system down when certain temperature thresholds are exceeded). Has anyone
had this happen to them?
