I go through the same proplem like sibs since I upgraded to karmic. Same symptoms: fan at high speed after a few minutes, critical temperature under full load, e.g. encoding with Avidemux, shutdown. Last night I had this problem although CPU was thottled down to 800MHz instead of maximum 2.2GHz!
Strange thing is that sometimes the log says "Critical temperature reached (127 C)" and sometimes "...(105 C)". This is definitly a problem which came with karmic and no dust-in-the- fan issue because it occured from one day to the other. Please tell me what information you need to solve this very annoying problem.
