Public bug reported:
Ever since upgrading from Maverick (with GNOME Classic) to Precise
(using Unity 2D since using the default Unity makes the situation worse)
my note book regularly overheats with normal usage:
I've been regularly using:
echo low | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
I've am also using psensor to warn me if the temperature rises above
92°. When 'idle' the temperature is at about 80°. If the CPU is used
(merely starting eclipse and letting all the the startup validation
processes finish) it quickly rises to 88°. If the usages is sustained
(rebuilding a java project) the temperature oscillates between 95° and
98°. If I do anything else that adds to the load (ie. if the
temperature is >98° for short period of time), the system freezes, but
the everything remains on, fans and CPU temperature stays up. I need to
turn off the notebook by keeping the power button pressed.
Note that this system overheats /with/ the low power profile.
Here are some general stats about this system, please let me know, if I
can provide further information:
