Ashish, if you execute the following at a terminal, does it provide a WORKAROUND:
sudo cpufreq-selector --cpu=0 --governor=powersave

If you switch to xubuntu, is the CPU load lower via
http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ ?

Title:
  [Acer Aspire 5000] Kernel lets cpu getting heated up to the point of
  power-off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an acer aspire 5002lwnmi laptop which has a amd processor.
  Though the processor has ability to run on low frequency. During high
  load the kernel let it run on high frequency untill it crosses the
  threshhold to get power off. While the better would be to put it on
  low frequrency to get it cool down a bit.
