Public bug reported:
I've found this happening an increasing amount since upgrading to 12.04.
When under heavy load my laptop has all fans at full speed but still
often reachs critical heat (on the hard drive I think) and shuts itself
off.
I think this is mostly poor hardware design but it would be awesome if
linux was able to detect dangerous temperatures, and if fans are already
on full, scale CPU and GPU operations down to reduce heat so that a
fatal shut-off can be avoided.
I have an HP Pavilion with Intel core i7 and ATI Radeon HD 5000.
