** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  When I'm doing a demanding CPU activity (ripping a CD, doing OCR, etc),
  the computer shuts itself down due to overheating (more than 99 C).
  
  I've tried running sudo sensors-detect but no modules were loaded.
  
  I've also tried booting with option "acpi.power_nocheck", but to no use.
  
  I've also tried adding options radeon modeset=1 to /etc/modprobe.d
  /radeon-kms.conf.
  
  Lastly, I updated my BIOS from the vendor's webpage, but it didn't help
  either.
  
  This is more likely to happen while on the open-source ATI drivers.
