HP Pavilion G6 temperatures raises until system shuts down, how to fix this?

Question

I'm using HP Pavilion G6 laptop, and I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, from now whenever I use Ubuntu my system heats up and unexpectedly shutdowns.

Answer 1

Are you using the proprietary drivers or open source drivers. To enable proprietary drivers: Software Sourcers > Additional Drivers tab > Select a proprietary driver and hit apply changes. See if this resolves your problem. It did in the case of my HP dv7-1285dx Laptop.
