I had this issue last week when I installed Ubuntu 9.04, on my Gateway laptop. My specifications are:
Gateway T-1625 AMD Turio 64 X2 TL-60 Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope 32 bits But I followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597998 and at least my laptop doesn't suddenly shutdown anymore, it's hot sometimes anyway, but now, I'm constantly monitoring the activity of the CPU to prevent that from happening. I hope in the future we don't have to adjust this and look for help with everyone. I love Ubuntu but I will try others Linux distros that support better my laptop. Hope this can help anyone who go through the same issue. -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
