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

 

If it's relevant, my hard drive now seems to be quieter too - I'm not
sure when that started, possibly straight after when I upgraded to 14.04
but possibly more recently. (The hard drive used to be significantly
louder under Ubuntu than it was under Windows)

Title:
  Laptop suddenly runs much hotter but low CPU usage

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
