[Bug 567517] Re: [RS690] sporadically while scrolling in any application the screen in most parts would change to "static" noise.

This started happening to me recently and I'm relating it to two
distinct factors: firstly, no cpu scaling in ubuntu which means the cpu
gets hotter and so does the gpu; secondly, the weather's getting a bit
hotter here in Portugal so I guess the gfx card's saying bye bye...

I'm still ubuntunizing but I'm planning my return to windows :( I've
changed some settings in a modded bios ( see
http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/480992-acer-laptop-phoenix-bios-
bios-mod-request-108.html ) and reduced the gfx core to 200mhz and
everything to do with voltage. So far it seems like it's holding itself
together, managing to withstand a whopping 15 minutes without
crashing...

Lets see if this sticks!
