[Bug 22336] Re: laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks.

[Sylvain]

I've got the same problem, ie my toshiba SPA40 crashes when it gets too hot, which happens very often. I am using ubuntu (?), I don't know which version, how can I find which version I am running? I used Debian for about a year on this laptop and I never had any problem, same with Fedora core 4, and with Demudi.
Inspired by  the last posts I used cpufreq-set to fix my cpu at 1.6 GHz , it works fine but a bit slow, no overheating so far, the problem now is that I can't change frequency anymore!!
