Now wait a minute. Macintosh left vents heat up, but not to the
point where they are too hot to touch. (but then everything in Texas is
hot in the summertime, maybe I am just used to it.)

I have left my Mac on for days without any problem. No trashed disks,
nothing. Not even a burned screen.

It might be some bad chips inside, drawing more power as they begin
to fail. Might be a good idea to take it in and have it looked at.
