(Get the code!)
Same problem here...was having real problems with the cpu scaling and system freezes making my PC unuseable. After much searching I switched the scaling function off in the bios and disabled the gnome power manager etc. At last I can use the PC to do some work instead of screaming at the screen all day. This is my first foray into Linux... and apparently ubuntu just works so i fear for newbies to other distros!
Was it a good idea to turn the power manager off? I use a Pundit that employs Q fan technology... chip seems to be happy with it off though?? How best to check temps fan speeds etc?
So with gpm off i have a useable operating system where i can work/surf/play and do everything except shut down the pc without planning the event some time in advance. This problem is described elsewhere (selecting shut down freezes desktop (except mouse) for minute+ and then panel with shut down options appears as normal and shut down/log out can be initiated).
System info.

Hope there will be a fix soon... nothing seems to work thus far...
