Darla, as per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-
ENVY-m6-k000-Sleekbook/5375388/model/5390695 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F.16). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  kworker high cpu utilization

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded to vivid 15.04 on my HP Sleekbook (AMD A10 CPU) and it runs
  very hot. Top shows kworker taking up 60-70% CPU immediately after
  rebooting and not launching any programs.
