heating problem with ubuntu

Asked by bhaskar

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 in my dell laptop. And recently i found that my laptop has been heating so much compared to windows operating system. And the heating mostly occured on touchpad area.
And i found that my laptop is taking very long time in order to boot. And why it is taking so much time to boot and why it has been heating to that much level.
OS: dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.10
desktop Ubuntu unity.

Thanks & Regards.
Bhaskar

As one user there mentioned, BIOS settings for power management may have been specifically configured for Windows since most hardware still sells with MS preinstalled.

Maybe verify power management in BIOS first.

In case report a bug.

I didn't find any solution in the above website. So please tell me another solution and i am ready to provide any extra information if you want.
Anyway i am using LXDE,XFCE,Gnome,Unity,KDE desktops alternatively so is there any problem with multi desktop environments causing this problem?
