Since this is only how i started to ask for help before i noticed it is
a bug the small piece above is incomplete. Please read

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+question/183151

The bug started last autumn and is related to graphic driver and compiz where with combination of proprietor driver and compiz fan speed is low and some graphic related processes overload the cpu or after both are removed other programs like totem get too much cpu and lead to a emergency system shut-down.
Whatever it is, graphic driven events get all of the cpu and increase the load abnormally.

Maybe you will find this info useful. Two separate blocks with listing
of processes and modules used with load and idle.

First Part is when i use Pinball to overheat the cpu.     Second part is idle
Take a look at cpu values on top for overall use and what pinball does and fglrx is used at idle by more processes than under load.

This is all done after restoring proprietor graphic driver and compiz.
as a result fan speed has again changed.

If you like to have anything else i would appreciate it if you could
describe where and how i retrieve the info.

Title:
  cpu resources divided to graphic driver

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since we had this summer over 45°C and my Laptop did not overheat i was just surprised that after the latest kernel update my Laptop started to do an emergency shutdown now and then. My first try was to change the fan settings in the Bios and oops there is no such thing. Only a choice where you might keep the fan running (I never shut of) or you allow it to shut down if it pleases to do so.  No temperature adjustment. After reading a bit HP site i found that they have a algorithm for fan control and it is obvious that is intended to keep the laptop silent.
  Though silence is not my main trouble but a fresh fried cpu is. 
  Has anybody a idea how to overcome the HP silent treatment and get some adjustment to temperature settings by making the fan work earlier.
  sensors tells me the following but all my feeble attempts to find and adjust it failed so far.

  acpitz-virtual-0
  Adapter: Virtual device
  temp1:       +56.1°C  (crit = +108.0°C)                  
  temp2:       +23.4°C  (crit = +108.0°C)                  

  k10temp-pci-00c3
  Adapter: PCI adapter
  temp1:       +56.1°C  (high = +70.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) 

  I'm good with Horses not with bites (too many teeth).
