   I have a similar issue with a desktop with an nvidia agp card.   
      
   No amount of debugging has ever solved it.   
      
   After the first "over heat" shutdown, I turn it back on after a 20   
   second power off and all is well for ever and a day until I manually   
   shut it down.   
      
   It works fine with windows and I can only assume it is a Nvidia thing   
   since it never happened with the previous ATI card I hard to dump   
   because of lack of HW OGL.   
      
   If you find a solution I would love to hear.
