I'm having the same issue with Oneiric in a Thinkpad x61. It usually shuts down when I'm watching movies. I did the workaround mentioned in the description (set fan level to disengaged) and could watch the whole movie with no shutdown. Fan level without level disengaged was ~4000 rpm and with disengaged enabled ~7000 rpm.
