Hi Anthony,
This appears to have something to do with CPU scaling and I assume you
may have an applet of some sort running for the scaling to occur.
Maybe disabling this applet will solve your problem.
A quick google search provides https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/93331
Hope this gets you on the right path anyways ;)
