Comment 30 for bug 85894

That's weird, my memory doesn't usually fail me. But the logs must be right then. I see why the importance is set like this, too.

I don't recall having experienced this in Edgy, but again, I didn't know there was a bug like this, so I didn't do any testing and/or monitoring. I'm currently unable to downgrade, or upgrade to Gutsy (before the beta launch, anyway), as this is my main work machine. But as soon as the beta is out I'll consider it, if it solves my problems.

But the BIOS thing is still the best solution at hand right now. A "nice yes > /dev/null" doesn't crash my machine anymore, and the temperature is a steady 52 degrees Celsius after a short rise to somewhere in the sixties during the test.
