I tried Knoppix and Ubuntu Live DVD's. After a couple of minutes, the display goes off! It says "Entering Power Save Mode". I can hear the really loud fans! The computer is still pretty much running.

If I start windows normally, the fans slow down after a little bit. In the case of Knoppix/Ubuntu, fans never slow down and the display goes off. Is something heating up really bad inside?

Sounds like your graphics card isn't being detected properly. Try safe graphics mode from the boot menu. I think it's on the f4 option.
