You might want to check your BIOS and see what the set point is for overtemp.
Also download Speedfan 4.231 and monitor it, you will see a spike in
processor activity and then a rise in temp. See what the temp is, it
might be the set point is too low.

A while back, I posted a problem I was having with a Dell computer
who's fan sounded like a jet engine. I discovered this particular
computer, running Windows XP Pro, was very temperature sensitive
and when the office A/C got fixed, the problem went away. However,
now it seems it is acting up again. But here's the twist: when the
user gets an e-mail with an attachment, the fan revs up like crazy
followed by a beeping noise. When he closes the e-mail, and it can
be any e-mail with an attachment, the beeping ceases and the fan
settles back down. Has anyone heard of such a thing?
