On the graphics side of things, your AMD/ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5650M "Madison" may be getting too hot. You can enable power management for it by using one of the methods described at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index3h2
The first two methods are only rudimentary but are available now. The 3rd (dpm) method is much better and will debut in the upcoming 3.11 linux kernel. The first release candidate (3.11-rc1) of the 3.11 kernel should be available any day now at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install and uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds Or you could wait and see whether the currently under development Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" updates to the 3.11 kernel before it's final release on 17th October 2013. If you do update to the 3.11 kernel, to use the dpm method you will need to select it at boot by adding radeon.dpm=1 to your GRUB kernel boot options as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990731 Title: Request: Scale back CPU and GPU to avoid notebook overheating To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/990731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
