[Bug 1768976] [NEW] Ubuntu 18.04 is overheating after upgrade from 16.04

[Caramba]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu is overheating at my laptop. Opening youtube on firefox is enough
for critical temperature shutdown.

Using lm-sensors for monitoring on 18.04 the temp varies between 70 and 85°C with only firefox or chrome open and doing nothing. 
On my old 16.04 with same using, the temp varies between 55 and 70°C.

First thought was the driver nouveau is the problem, and finally I was
able to install by add "nouveau.modeset=0" at livecd boot options,
without temp shutdown.

After install I disable the nouveau at modprobe blacklist, but the
system continues overheating and shutdown with basic usage.


I have no idea what's happening with the bionic at my laptop.

My laptop is a Samsung RF411 i5 2nd Generation and Geforce 540M.
