My guess is something on a schedule. Possibilities include scanning for
the "slocate" database (on by default in some distro's with typically
daily scan), or defragging.
See if it happens the same time every day, and run top or other program
to show busy processes.
I found firefox (any browser I guess) will make the CPU run hotter if
left on some page with a busy flash or java program.
