different constellation, but matching experience:

The laptop, a Medion MD 96500, does become very hot (currently: Temp1: 85 °C, Temp2: 71°C, without any real cpu activity.

I guess it is the GPU running hot!? CPU speed is down to its limit, from 1.73 GHz to 800 GHz, fan running.

It got a ATI Radeon X700 and thus does not qualify for the fgrlx driver,

KMS should be enabled: radeon modeset=1

Hi Reloweb,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Reloweb, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagementASPM a patch has been issued to address high temperature. Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>
