intel MCP limit exceeded?

**nickjames1** · October 7th, 2012

my computer occasionally randomly shutdown down. It happens especially while watching video on youtube or just a video through vlc.
It nmever did this before and even does it on windows ( I dual boot windows and 11.04)
The only clue I have is that, suddenly, the fan will start spinning really hard, becoming quite audible for 4 seconds and then it's off. I see this in the kernel logs

Code:
