Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.4 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Pavilion g7 laptop becomes too hot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After install and updates this laptop still becomes VERY hot. I
  installed indicator-sensors to get a handle on the temperature and
  it's hovering at about 80C without much load at all.

  I managed to work around this by adding "radeon.runpm=0" to boot
  options and adding to /etc/rc.local:

  sleep 15
  echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

  to turn off the discrete GPU. Now temp is 50-61 degrees during normal
  use.

  I tried the Vivid and Wily LTS-kernels but the problem is still there.

  As a side note, fglrx apparently doesn't support my GPUs anymore but
  is still offered in Additional drivers. Installing them messed up my
  system and I had to remove fglrx manually in console, which was not
  nice. Do you think I should post a bug report on that, so fglrx is not
  offered for these GPU?
