Comment 14 for bug 209632

Hello !

I had a similar problem : my CPU was about 100% working, impossible to surf on many sites with flash or java...

I read a message on a forum which explained a command I didn't know : "cpu-freq info".

The man who posted this message was blocked to 800MHz.

When I wrote that in a terminal, it asked me to install "cpufrequtils" and "libcpufreq0".

Once it been done, "cpu-freq info" worked.

I saw that I was not blocked and could run from 800MHz to 1,8GHz.

And I checked my CPU... it was about 45%, and I could go again on each website with firefox !

So I read the "cpu-freq info" message and saw the difference with that man. As driver, I have "powernow-k8" and not "acpi-cpufreq".

I don't know if it's this "installation" which solved my problem, but I wanted to post that in order (maybe) to help you.

If you need that I post some data, just ask.

Hope a french (that I'm) could help you !
