Natty heats up Sony Vaio Laptop

[Chhatoi Pritam Baral]

I am not sure as to what causes this, but whenever I log into natty, my mobo
temp shoots above 65. Sometimes it goes above 70-75 too. The fan is
controlled directly by the BIOS. I have  that had no luck in directly
controlling the fan through the OS ( even in Maverick, Lucid, or Windows).
So, I guess its some system process that keeps the processors super busy, or
perhaps a power management leak.

Could it be 'cause of the GPU drivers? Mine are ATI fglrx from the repos.

Does anyone have any insight on this.
