That sounds like something to do with APM (power saving mode).  It could still be the 
fan though.  If it's dirty/going out it still could be the cause.  Better to replace a 
15 dollar fan than a processor (and the stock fans that come with most computers are 
really crap anyway).
I just know what worked for me.  Best of luck with it, Aidan.
