Have you ever tried the package laptop-mode-tools? I had similar problems with my production laptop when I tried to run Ubuntu 12.04 there. Specs: Intel Core2Duo 2Ghz, video Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, 3Gb RAM. I remember i tried Jupiter (project ended) and laptop-mode-tools. None worked for me so I decided to try Lubuntu and it's been working great! No power management tools needed for me know and system works from 41C to 65C when on pressure. I do understand you already run Lubuntu on your HP laptop, anyway, check on the following links some details about laptop-mode-tools.
