 	The fan is on constantly when its reaching that temperature, 
it doesn't matter, it still doesn't cool the laptop down. I could put 
my hand in front of the vent for 5 minutes and scald myself with the 
air coming out, its _that_ hot.

 	Yep, been trying those... no difference made. I have them 
tuned to 40->65 and they still don't stop it from locking up.

 	The interesting thing is that the temperature goes up a *LOT* 
more if I'm doing something related to OpenGL/dri vs. say... running 2 
vmware sessions both defragging and building Xorg from source at the 
same time. It keeps chugging along without any issues, but once I 
launch something like xscreensaver-demo or bzflag, I get a lockup 
within the first 10 minutes.
