On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 05:19:26PM -0600 I heard the voice of

A quick Google suggests that model (g7-1365dx) is an AMD Llano proc,
so I doubt "coretemp — device driver for Intel Core on-die digital
thermal sensor" is going to he much help   8-}

amdtemp(4) would be the possible choice.  But I don't know whether it
can handle Llano.

>From the specs, it looks like it has a discrete graphics card as well
as the integrated too.  Since I'm pretty sure that combo isn't
supported (and you're probably just running VESA anyway), the discrete
is dead weight, and if it doesn't turn itself flat off (I don't know
if it does or not), it may be contributing to heat problems.
