[Bug 370173] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown

[ceg]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 9.04, fresh install on Acer Aspire 5005.
  Not sure about package, but it seems the problem is with CPU frequency adjustment or fan control.
  Laptop shuts down right in the middle of CPU-greedy operation overheated. I haven't seen it before (since 7.10).
  The issue is discussed at several forums (eg. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130450)
