+1 to that. I had a laptop that was doing the exact same thing. I
installed lm_sensors and saw that at rest my temp was generally 40C
(that's with powersave enabled). When I compiled the temp would go up
to 75C...I think the highest I ever got it was 77C.* A /little/ over 40
is too hot...
*For the Americans (like me) the easy way for C -> F is double it,
subtract 10% and add 32. So the temps would be 104F, 167F and 171F.
The laptop has stopped freezing now. Not sure what was going on.
Thanks a lot for all the help and I'll refer back if I need to.

Do you recall what you did? Recompile a package? Blow out some dust
bunnies? Cross your toes?
Just curious.
