vaio SR laptop over heat during normal use

Dear fellows
I have installed opensuse 12.2 on my laptop (SR GBP 590). I have problem regarding my laptop over heat, even when I don’t have any program running. I don’t know what the problem is. I love my opensuse and I don’t want to change it. I have not installed any driver since there was no error regarding driver installation. May be this is due to my graphic card which is ATI. I am new to opensuse, so please pardon if I have made an obvious mistake.
Please help me to solve this issue.

Hi
What model ATI card? Are you running the proprietary driver? Also what
desktop environment.
