Overheating and cpu scaling frecuency

[Carlos Elias Buraye]

the graphics hd and hd video (flash or html5), make the cpu is very hot, which causes the CPU frequency is reduced to its minimum speed which makes the PC to crash.
I use i8kutils and cpufreq try to solve the problem of high temperature, but it did not work, fails to take control of the fans, they like the CPU frequency are directly controlled by the BIOS.

Carlos Elias Buraye, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test for this with the x64 version (not 32-bit) via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?
