Package: bitcoin-qt
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: important
This is new behavior. I have two laptops (one ThinkPad, one Toshiba, neither of
them particularly new)
which overheat and shut down every time I run bitcoin-qt. I have tried to slow
things down with trickle,
but then the client segfaults, also every time!!
The excessive use of CPU is in itself perhaps just a minor pathology, but
I am tagging this "important" because it creates the unfortunate situation I am
now in: I am going
to have to try and SOMEHOW get the clients updated such that I can move the
bitcoin out to electrum.
One expects a degree of stability and reliability from the reference client.
For me at least, that is currently being shaken.

Clearly notebook overheating is a hardware issue: either fans need maintenance
(cleaning) or it might be ineffective thermal design. In any case we do not do
hardware support. Besides this issue have nothing to do with Bitcoin as
perhaps the same problem would be possible to reproduce with 7z archiving of
substantial amount of data.
For workaround I imagine docking bay with additional cooling could help.
For pure software solution I would probably look at "cpufrequtils" package to
see if CPU multiplier could be set at lower value.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected],
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
