[Bug 1321433] [NEW] Laptop suddenly runs much hotter but low CPU usage

 

Public bug reported:

In the last couple of days I've suddenly noticed that my laptop runs
hotter and the fan runs louder constantly than it used to.

I have no idea what's changed, my best guess it's caused by a recent
kernel, driver or other update. It doesn't seem to be any particular
process hogging the CPU as htop shows CPU usage of around 10%, yet the
issue persists.

The laptop base feels hotter than usual as well. I have no idea where to
even start looking to diagnose this.
