Check if your system fan is working correctly.  I've been having
problems with my system fan running full blast since going to FC3
final and have been using the fan control program to set the fan low
manually after boot.  Fiddling around with the program settings, I set
the fans off unintentionally.   A while later, the system shut off
without warning when the CPU temp got too high.
