I did not write these words. Please be careful with your quoting and attribution. My contribution was to add that even when the CPU heat-sink fan was working well, dust clogging the heat sink fins can allow considerable overheating of the CPU chip. As to your claim that there's no hardware problem--it may be so, but it does not really follow from the observations you've made. For one thing, there's no plausible way for a flaw in KDE to suppress network activity, both incoming and outgoing as well as other interrupt-driven actions (keyboard handling, e.g.). The problem may or may not be hardware, but it's not very likely that KDE is responsible for the symptoms you report.
