As a relative newcomer to LINUX quite a lot of it is a foreign language, (no awful pun intended). I've been around electronics and computers for quite a few years now. So would you be so kind as to explain just what is "GPE_L00" and "DSDT". And just how we remove the salient part? I have a new Acer Aspire 1304LC which I could cook an egg on. Windoze(2K & XP Pro) don't generate anything like so much warmth.
