It still points to over heating. The ambient air temperature
doesn't make a whole load of difference - it's the
temperature of the few millimetres of air which surround the
CPU which you need to worry about. As soon as you cut the
power, the thermal cut out resets, the chip surface
temperature drops a couple of degrees and the device is
happy again.

The temperature of the chip is directly related to what it's
doing. Perhaps a SuSE cron job comes in (which Redhat does
differently) which causes the chip to work a bit harder,
which, along with other things that are going on, causes the
thing to overheat.

I could be completely wrong here though. :-)
