This is the 3rd time i install Ubuntu. And this time it's 12.04. I've been going back to Windows, but keep on coming back!
But I just got this one problem, my ASUS EeePC 1215n keeps on overheating when i run Ubuntu!



I've seen that this is a common problem and therefore thought it might be a piece of cake to fix it, but the more i read about it, the more confused I get!



I'm a fairly novice linux user and would really appreciate if someone could help me out with a step by step instructions to how to fix this! (even include what I'm supposed to write in terminal).



What I've understood from most posts I've read is that the nvidia Ion2 driver needs to be disabled? I guess it's because it just goes haywire even though it's not being used...right? will this solve my overheating problems?



I'm sorry for this being a repost, but like I said, this is my 3rd time around and all my searching really hasn't got me any further down the road!

If your BIOS has an option to use the Integrated graphics chip, configure it to do so in order to disable the nvidia card -> lower temperature.



If you intend to use the discrete nvidia card sometimes, have a look at Bumblebee. See also Is a NVIDIA GeForce with Optimus Technology supported by Ubuntu?
