might also use many of the nice gui applications, i frequently use gkrellm (sp?) if i suspect a problem or just want a good idea of everything happening (it also shows all drive activity per partition, network info, etc. including all the temperature sensors it can fine. alternately you might try a recent veraion of "hiren's" utilities, easy to find for download, very, very usefull and it include utilities to load the processor and heat it up to check stability. then again, i know the cd for windows xp and the installer are a good check aswell, if stability is marginal the installer will repeatedly fail in the same place when it's decompressing all the files which is of course a lot of math, and math makes cpus run hotter. lm sensors is always one of the first things i install, then you can also watch drive temps in the panel. after you install lm_sensors you need to run , i believe, sensors-detect with root privalages so it can prob for all the sensors, there are a lot of little known busses in most machines and it tries to search them all looking for sensors. though i don't know how to monitor the fan sensors.

Also try package lm_sensors and its command sensors-detect, maybe just the temperature sensors are not properly initialized

It means it's time to open up your' laptop and evict all the dust bunnies. it's overheating on one desktop but not the other because one of your' desktops, as configured on your system is using the processor more. this is how laptops die as most people just whine and complain as their' laptop gets slower and less stable.
the first part to fail is often the hard drive. hard drives can operate hot but it greatly shortens the drives lifetime. on my desktop i try to keep my drives below 100deg F. they last forever practically then, where as around 120-130 you get fairly rapid failures.
It's a major, major pain to work on most laptop hardware but you have to do it. i have such a laptop that ran hot until the drive failed, so i got a nice laptop free that needs a new drive and cleaning, or possibly a new fan (they aren't running, either due to dust bunnies or failure". it's a $300 laptop on ebay and i got it free because people ran it into the ground and they new i might be able to fix it. if you do clean it out look for the repair manual so you can take it apart and get it back together correctly, and there are often good videos on youtube showing how for most models.

I have updated my laptop to 7.4 CR this morning and found that there have been a lot of logs on two fronts for the first time.
