I read all of the posts here and a few others elsewhere. I tried a few things:
1) I tried the 'pcie_aspm=force' trick. It honestly did nothing for me. I worked with it for a couple of days. I see some people are saying that it helped, so who knows. 2) I installed the kernel from this link: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34.7-maverick/ I downloaded the following files (for a 64bit system) into a directory: linux-headers-2.6.34-02063407-generic_2.6.34-02063407.201009140905_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.34-02063407_2.6.34-02063407.201009140905_all.deb linux-image-2.6.34-02063407-generic_2.6.34-02063407.201009140905_amd64.deb Then I went to a console and went into that directory and typed: > sudo dpkg -i *.deb When I rebooted, I chose the 2.3.34 kernel. I've been running with this configuration for over a day now and I played angry birds for 2 hours straight without an overheat/shutdown (it took me 5-10 min for a shutdown before reverting the kernel). I know this is a little bit on the "not supported" side, but this is the only thing that worked for me. I chose the 2.6.34 kernel based on what was said here and in some forums posts.
