I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (classic). The laptop is getting very very hot and often it shuts down due to over heat.
When I use Windows on the same laptop (dual boot) its fine and heat is almost ignorable.
I'm using HP probook 4520s
Specifications:
- RAM:4GB
- Processor:core i3 (2.26 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)
- Graphics:ATI Radeon HD 4350
Is there anything I can do to reduce the heat while running on Ubuntu? If there is no good way of doing that I dont mind switching to other linux distro using gnome.
PS: I hate KDE. LXDE,XFCE aren't matured like gnome.
1Most likely, your BIOS settings don't do select any reasonable power management and all your power management was specifically configured in Windows. Linux, by default, honors the BIOS settings. – David Schwartz – 2011-11-06T16:12:32.217
