Heat.

Get to a nearby Radio Shack and look back in the electronics parts section
where the power transistor mounting kits and heatsinks are and find a
small tube of silicon heatsink compound. Make sure you have something hady
to wipe your hands with and remove the CPU heatsink. Apply a VERY TINY dab
to the heatsink and spread it out over the area where it contacts the CPU
case. Use a very small amount. You do not want this stuff squeezing out
from between the heatsink and CPU and getting all over everything. Now
wipe your hands off (careful, this stuff stains) and replace the CPU fan.
ALSO, make sure any case fans are running and unobstructed.

You might also try stopping any constantly running background processes
... such as teh distributed-net client ... so teh CPU can go idle and cool
off between tasks.
