I guess it is to run (or not) the video bios after resuming so
switching this option may help.

Also using vbetool to manipulate the display may help but it may break
X when it is running.

There is also a nouveau kernel module in 2.6.33 kernel which should
come with a different framebuffer driver but that's incompatible with
the nvidia driver so you probably don't want that.

Do you mean that when you resume the acpi thermal zone driver reads a
high temperature and shuts the pc down?

You can change the command which is executed in this (and other cases
when the system is supposed to shut down) by sysctl

kernel.poweroff_cmd = /sbin/poweroff

if you change it it /bin/true you can watch the temperature for a
while after resume to see if it drops down again.
