When I ran "yum update", when it started to install the updates it said something like cpu 0 overheating cpu 1 overheating. Then my screen went black for a second and the next thing I new is I was at the login screen.
I've noticed that yum seems terribly CPU intensive. Much more than other things which I expect to be doing even more work than the databasing that yum does (working out package dependencies).
It also does a lot of text processing, ie. XML parsing.
Of course, it'd help if Linux wasn't so dependency mad.
Best solution I've seen yet.
I've seem some damn peculiar ones (like KDE being dependent on having htdig installed).
The htdig does have system files (libraries)
I can understand applications been dependent on standard system files, but it shouldn't go the other way around.

My cpu just overheated again while I was using Linux. This time I was browsing the web. I am back into Windows to post this. It does not over heat in Windows. I am not saying Windows is better just because of this, and I am not saying that Linux causes cpu's to overheat easier.
As I said earlier, I am in the process of getting a Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower Cooler Copper. I am going to take apart my computer and dust it thoroughly, which it needs. I am also getting a new power supply. So I will see if that works. Can't use Linux until then though.
