overheating

I am a Windows user trying to move over to Ubuntu without much success.

I have installed the 11.10 version as dual boot by using Wubi tool on the Ubuntu website and can only use the operating system for about 5 minutes before it overheats and shuts off the machine.

I have done my searches and seen many posts about overheating but cannot see one that I am able to apply to my particular case.

Can anyone give me a steer on this please?
