Ubuntu is overheating most laptops

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

Ubuntu 15.04 is overheating laptops. Both laptops at home powers off, and both have different graphic adapters.

One of them was working fine under Ubuntu 14.10, is mostly new from Toshiba, and uses Intel integrated graphics which presumably doesn't overheat too much compared with AMD and NVIDIA ones. In fact cover always stays cool.

Even when the CPU is set to a lower energy state and thermald is installed, the problem still persist. After reading various questions about this issue in AskUbuntu.com I greatly suspect this will power off most laptops.

This is terrible. How could flaws like this go into release? Who codes device drivers and graphic servers to burn hardware?

Also happens using GNOME Shell.

After some test, this could be due to hardware failure.
