Is there such thing as a heat / power management?

I was having a problem with my screen resolution constantly changing on the fly while X was running with dual monitors.

Actually i am still having this problem but i think i figured out what was the trigger.
It seems to happen only when my laptop starts to heat up when doing some CPU intensive tasks.

So i am wondering if there is such thing as a program that run in the background that tries to regulate heat or maybe the power management, that i could disable in order to get rid of the problem mentioned above. Maybe the unity equivalent of the gnome settings manager..

Thanks a lot for any help!

This Program doesn't run in the background, but Jupiter Power management can scale your CPU, which should cool it down when it's too hot, hope this helps, it runs as a panel applet.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/jupiter

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jupiter

if by chance you have an EEEPC (i doubt that) sudo apt-get install jupiter-support-eee
