  1. Run the command sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backup
  2. Run the command gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  3. Make sure you do not see noacpi (set it to acpi or delete it, depending on where it is), pci=noacpi (set it to pci=acpi), or acpi=off (set it to acpi=on)
  4. Reboot and see if it helps.

Basically, you set Ubuntu to use acpi to control the hardware, which generally fixes overheating. If your computer does not boot, revert /etc/default/grub to /etc/default/grub.backup.

  • I tried the 1st command but could not see anything happening.

    • 2)moved on to the 2nd: "The program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gksu". I executed it. 3) after installing executed the command again. It opened something in a text editor. 4)I dont see any of the texts you mentioned to search for. Does that mean its alright. going to reboot now.
