Over the last couple of months I tried a lot of Linux distros on this laptop, and I got this sort of heating issue only due to some issue in the Intel Graphics / NVIDIA driver. For example with an Ubuntu installation it was a case of outdated drivers for both - I upgraded both the kernel and the NVIDIA driver and then it got solved. And then in an Arch Linux installation I got the same heating problem when NVIDIA open-sourced their driver (the new driver had some issues), and following some advice it got resolved by adding ibt=off in the kernel parameters. And as I mentioned in a previous mail, this laptop is new and I have dual booted it with Fedora Linux which runs completely okay, so I don't think this is a hardware issue ... > If not then we're chasing a FreeBSD problem.

I'll go through the NVIDIA driver packages then. Thank you for the pointer! Thanks again for your help!
