I have been extremely patient for a few weeks now, but I gave up on windows and installed Ubuntu thinking it was a software issue. It looks it is.
ASUS laptop, 8Gb ram, 64 bit,... I cleaned the fan.
So, I went on terminal and used the sensor program and this is what it came up with:
**Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 16h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
AMD Family 16h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... Success!
(driver `coretemp')
Everything else ran negative
except (but I don't know what this is)
Client found at address 0x18
I don't know what to do next.
sensors-detect
. Does everything come back 'no' in that? – rtaft Jan 03 '20 at 14:20Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): y /dev/port: Operation not permitted

coretemp #----cut here---- If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)y Successful!
Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are loaded. You may want to run '/etc/init.d/kmod start' to load them.
Unloading cpuid... OK How do I do that, if I need to do that?
