I think it's the USB card reader (Realtek), and in particular the kernel module rts5139, which is still in staging.
Try to do, as root, "modprobe -r rts5139" and see if that fixes it. (obviously your card reader will stop working). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072730 Title: CPU fan constantly at high speed on Asus K53SM laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1072730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
