Critical temperature reached, shutting down

I re-installed FC12 last night after having to remove the hard drive from
this machine. Got the same problem again. It goes away when I use "noacpi"
and "noapm" on the kernel boot line.

I still don't know which sensors is telling me that that critical
temperature is being reached.

Any ideas?
