My laptop is too hot

Asked by RIZA BAYOGLU

I am using 12.04 version of Ubuntu. Nowadays, my laptop is getting hot very quickly and shuts down itself. I am not using a cooling pad and will never do that. Can anybody suggest me a solution please? I am using a custom made laptop "monster 8600
M GT" having an intel graphics card, 2gb memory and 2.2 core due processor.

Your Nvidia GPU has no driver. Run:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Then reboot
