Your problem is very simple. You have a fan failure (over the
main chip) or you have some dodgy memory. Open the case up and
check the little fan is turning. If not, don't use your
machine until you have a new one on (typical cost < �3). If
the fan is fine and the machine is still under warrenty (I
imagine it is with this kind of bedding-in problem) take it
back the the shop and get them to replace the
memory/motherboard/main chip until it starts working. Also,
try using the computer with a few other OS's (like Windows or
whatever) to make sure there wasn't a manufactureing fault on
your install disk (very unlikely).
Bill.
