What kind of hardware? IBM/Lenovo? Does it occur under high load or
really "at random X"? Is it a notebook? Are you using it inside a
docking station?

Take a closer look at /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature and
in case it's IBM/Lenovo hardware check out the module thinkpad_acpi
and files like /proc/acpi/ibm/fan. If your system shuts down check
out the temperature information available within BIOS.
