Interesting. Which module was that?

It was probably making your GPU go nuts. The more interesting question
is whether this module would behave on your machine normally and only
some buggy incarnation of it would cause the overheating... I.e., it
could be you upgraded X and with the new version the issue started
appearing. Fun.
