top-posting to maintain established flow, don't shoot me. :) I've heard some recent make/model laptops will burn up under linux if not installed properly. This is because Windows handles temp monitoring and fan speed. Thus, linux must as well. If you don't have your kernel configured properly, on these models, it would burn up. No sure if that is the situation for you, since you also got the log message that it was (hopefully) changing clock modes to compensate.
I would start grepping the kernel source for the error messages, and be sure to look through /usr/src/linux/Documentation for similar phrases. That should get you started. hth, Cooper.
