I am having overheating issues when watching flash videos. Here is all the relevant information that I could think of. Please help.
--Often when playing flash videos it operates at 95 degrees C.
--Only gets that hot when on full screen (but still in the 80s otherwise)
--Sometimes reaches 100 degrees and shuts down.
--fan runs at around 4500 RPM when hot (not to mention I can here it speed up)
--Happens under Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 (did not use Ubuntu before then)
--Overheating happens on more than one site (for example youtube and Comedy Central)
--My computer does not overheat otherwise.
--Usually runs around 50-60 degrees C.
--Maybe if compiling or doing updates can it get to 70 or 75 degree C.
--Have a dual boot, and under Windows I do not have this issue.
--I use firefox, but have the same issue if using Chrome
--I have a Lenovo T410, currently running Ubuntu 12.10
--Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 540 @ 2.53GHz × 4
--4 GB of memory, 64 bit OS
--Graphics: NVS 3100M/PCIe/SSE2
Thanks and let me know if you need more info, Ben
