I got the same problem on my Inspiron 8000.  Booting without rhgb
would enable me to see the amusing message (quoted from memory) `limit
temperature -296 degrees Celsius reached, shutting down'.

After reading this, I tested acpi=on without battery and it wouldn't
do it any more.

Upgrading to 2.6.2-1.74 fixed it as well.  I'm tentatively closing bug
115518.  Please reopen if you find that it doesn't fix the problem for
you.
