[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off

Sat Jul 3 11:13:38 UTC 2010

I can confirm on dell xps 1530 with nvidia 8600m GT, lucid and 256
series driver.

This just happen with an external monitor attached, powermizer is locked
to performance level 2 and cpu quickly geoes to 90 degress. As in
comment #59.

Disabling the external monitor, I get back to situation you see in the
screenshot attached and cpu gets cooler.

just in case, monitor is attached with VGA cable.
