Acer Aspire 1601LC tempertature & ACPI

[Nate Grey <nate-XtQPfPCVGG7srOwW+9ziJQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,
this is my first post, I'm sorry for my English (I'm Italian).

Well, my laptop during compilations that take long times shutdown with a 
kernel message that say "Critical Temperature 86 °C" or poweroff whitout 
messages.
I use Gentoo distribution (but the problem happened firstly on FreeBSD, this 
the reason I switch on Linux).

I got two questions:

1) Is this problem due to ACPI? (My friend Google lead me here)
2) What can I do?

I paste some system information:

CPU = model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Linux 2.6.4 (ACPI patch)

Probably you need more infos, just ask. It's very important, sometimes I 
cannot see a DVD because system goes down... :°(  Ah, last info, this problem 
doesn't not appear on WinXP (when it was installed).

Thanks in advance. Bye Bye
