After ms-windows xp has been running for hours, the lapto is mildly warm

I have updated the bios and now things are getting better with linux.
Until my laptop is plugged in, it is almost cold when touching the lower
side, even colder that when ms-windows is running.
Update: overheating still happens, even the bios new version, although less
often. Auto-shutting down of my hp tc4200 laptop due to critical
temperature reached happended yesterday.
I cannot say the reason. Low cpu load. I am running kernel 2.6.20 / kubuntu
(since ubuntu is not debian, i am forwarding also to the ubuntu mailing
lists)
Any ideas?
thank you

You can all so use a small flexible rubber hose tapped to a vacuum and
carefully suck out any dust followed with a good blast with canned air
if your not comfortable with taking it apart.
One of my laptops a T-60 always runs hot regardless of what OS its
running so I use a little folding stand to let air flow underneath, this
lowers temps considerably as a bonus it tips the key pad forward a
little and makes typing more comfortable..
