[ale] laptop running very hot!

[Jim Philips]

I have an HP DV7 4060-us. On Windows 7, it never runs more than lukewarm.
But on Fedora 15, running KDE, it gets blazing hot even when it's sitting
idle. If I run top, I don't see more than 6% CPU consumption. On one
occasion, it got so hot I started having hardware failures, but the damage
wasn't permanent. Obviously, I'm now scared to leave F15 running for any
length of time. Are there any diagnostics I can run that would tell me
what's going on?
