Thanks for the acpidump.
   The temperature of the thermal zone is obtained by evaluating the
_TMP object. From the acpidump we know that the _TMP is defined as the
following:
   >Method (_TMP, 0, NotSerialized)
            {
                And (SENF, 0x01, Local6)
                If (LEqual (Local6, 0x01))
                {
                    Return (RTMP ())
                }
                Else
                {
                    Return (0x0B86)
                }
    Then it will evaluate the RTMP object.
   
   From the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/* we know that the temperature is
about 202. It is abnormal. But the _TMP object is related with BIOS.
    
   So this issue is caused by BIOS. And it had better be fixed by BIOS
upgrading. We can do nothing about it.

   Of course you can try the boot option of acpi="!Windows 2006" and see
whether the temperature is still very high.
   It will be great if you can confirm whether there exists this issue
on windows.
   Thanks.
