I have a three-year old (I think) Z13 with Ubuntu 12.10 that also
started switching off because temperature, when under a significant CPU
load. I think it's because of dust. I just blew some air to the fan exit
on the left side of the computer, and that helped enough so that it does
not switch off any more. The temperatures are still quite high though,
so I guess I should open it up and remove the dust more thoroughly. I
didn't even have compressed air (currently travelling), so maybe you can
try that first, as a first aid measure. =)

Hi
I've got VPCZ1. I use this laptop since 2011. I have posted a
tutorial how to install Gentoo on it.
I'm using Ubuntu now (13.04 for the matter) with i3wm as a window
manager.
I think since updating to 12.04 my vaio started to restart
occasionally. Recently I realised it's because it is running hot. I
installed lm_sensors to check the temp now and it looks like it's
running always above 60C, while work it is going up to 80C. It is
switching off when jumping over 100C.
It's been running hot before (also on Gentoo). I was joking it is
for heating hands in winter. I don't mind cleaning, just I think
it's not the core issue.
I've checked and it should be running about 40C.
Searching the web didn't gave me much info. There was a similar
issue on ATI cards and the solution was to install some other driver.
Is your vaio running hot?
If not - what is your software setup?
