Dayvi, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.42 needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Tags added: kernel-therm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158087 Title: Ubuntu 12.10 HP probook 4740s incredible overheating issue Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I use ubuntu as my work OS for programming, however the temparature rises to 60-70+ °C even when I am not doing anything on my laptop, on 12.04 LTS it would only go that high if I was running some high performance cost Java software or compiling a lot of data, I understand the issue is due to graphical drivers not working correctly, I have tried to install AMD proprietary drivers and it did not solve anything. current OS 12.04 just downgraded from 12.10 --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
