What laptop is it? Some brands have more problems than others, and it could
simply be a kernel issue. Did you try running a previous kernel to check if
you can narrow the problem down? Since there have been a few kernel
upgrades lately that could also be an issue, not just the 4.13.3 release.
Also, talking about the degrees: what range do you talk about? I have
permanently the heat going over 70°C when using a browser on a Lenovo X220,
apparently this is unavoidable :(

Regards, Myriam
