** Summary changed: - Computer shuts down on heavy CPU usage: I get a caught signal 15, shutting down + Computer shuts down on heavy CPU usage due to overheating ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati When I'm doing a demanding CPU activity (ripping a CD, doing OCR, etc), the computer shuts itself down due to overheating (more than 99 C). I've tried running sudo sensors-detect but no modules were loaded. I've also tried booting with option "acpi.power_nocheck", but to no use. I've also tried adding options radeon modeset=1 to /etc/modprobe.d /radeon-kms.conf. Lastly, I updated my BIOS from the vendor's webpage, but it didn't help either. This only happens while I'm on the open-source ATI drivers. When I tried the proprietary fglrx drivers, I wasn't able to reproduce it.
