I'm right.
I put my tablet PC in it's case after telling it to standby, and then I went into Target to do a little shopping for graduation (you know, 24 pack of water here, 50' coaxial Rg6 cable there, the usual.). I was in Target for about 25 minutes, and when I returned, I went to grab my tablet out of it's case. In the words of our dearly departed Harry, HOLY COW! The fan was loud as all get out, obviously working overtime. It was physically hot to the touch, and when I opened up SpeedFan, it had charted a spike up to 58 degrees C (136.4 degrees F) for the core. The hard drive sensors, and the two CPU monitors also spiked. I took it out, and let it cool down, and the spikes gradually decreased. I would not be surprised in the least if this is what is taking out laptops. I'm glad I caught it in time, as there have been no signs of hard-locks.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to have the program running, and then set to email the technology staff when the alarm temperature is surpassed.
