Sounds like a hardware problem to me. I have 2.0Ghz T42p that I use
heavily almost daily for the last 13 months. I've never once had any
problem with over heating or hard locking. I've not had any heat issues
even during many hour long compile sessions with the CPU pegged at 2Ghz.

I do have 3D drivers installed (the r300 DRI driver currently).
