I already cleared out the fan and re-applied thermal paste. It was no help.
Some background info:
Last night I was creating a bootable DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) using UNetbootin. However, when I got to the boot screen (see attached image) there was a timer that counted down from 10. Once the timer reached zero it would simply just start again and keep looping. If i pressed the tab key I would get a message like so:
> /ubnkern initrd=/ubninit
If I press ESC I get this for a few second, and then it goes back to the timer:
boot:
I am attributing this problem to something in the system because, 10 min before I did this I had no problem what-so-ever with my system.
Any other suggestions?

iv_timer_unregister
iv_timer(3) ivykis programmer's manual iv_timer(3)
NAME
iv_timer_register, iv_timer_unregister, iv_timer_registered - deal with ivykis timers
SYNOPSIS
#include <iv.h>
struct iv_timer {
struct timespec expires;
void *cookie;
void (*handler)(void *);
};
void IV_TIMER_INIT(struct iv_timer *timer);
void iv_timer_register(struct iv_timer *timer);
void iv_timer_unregister(struct iv_timer *timer);
int iv_timer_registered(struct iv_timer *timer);
DESCRIPTION
The functions iv_timer_register and iv_timer_unregister register, respectively unregister, a timer with the current thread's ivykis event
loop. iv_timer_registered on a timer returns true if that timer is currently registered with ivykis.
When a timer that is registered becomes 'ready', due to the current system clock value becoming greater than or equal to the timer's
->expires member field, the callback function specified by ->handler is called in the thread that the timer was registered in, with
->cookie as its first and sole argument. When this happens, the timer is transparently unregistered.
The application is allowed to change the ->cookie and ->handler members at any time. The application is not allowed to change the
->expires member while the timer is registered.
A given struct iv_timer can only be registered in one thread at a time, and a timer can only be unregistered in the thread that it was reg-
istered from.
There is no limit on the number of timers registered at once.
See iv_examples(3) for programming examples.
