This makes perfect sense because the events/0 process is taking 100% of the cpu causing it to heat up. Solve the events/0 process problem and te fan problem should be solved. The only oddball thing I have noticed in the logs is this set of messages: [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001" [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh battery BAT1 00000080 00000001" [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] action exited with status 0 [Fri Jan 9 20:53:17 2004] completed event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001" This set of message repeats every 20-20 seconds so I'm guessing this is an indicator of the problem. I have tried pulling the battery out and just running on ac and these messages still show up. Let me know if there is anything else that would help debug the problem.
