My Notebook Processor is overheating while playing Fallout !

Vault Dweller
I have got a 3 year old subnotebook with an Athlon XP-M 2200+, 516Ram, Onboard Graphic Chip and so on...

I had no problems in playing games that range from Civ3, Steel Panthers, Dosbox Games, ScummVM and even FO 1 and 2 as I recall.

Right now I don't know why my processor gets really hot while playing Fallout 1! The heat outlet of my Notebook gets really hot and the processor starts to give a straight beep noise.

Why does Fallout strain my hardware so much although its specs are much higher than the requirements of the game?
 
Which version of Fallout are you playing? If it is the DOS version, maybe you can try to use DosBOX to run it.
