Bug Description

I can replicably make my machine shut down (a controlled shutdown, not a pull-the-plug instant shutdown) by encoding books to epub with calibre. The syslog mentions something about overheating. However, high CPU use from other applications (Flash player, as an obvious example, which I often have to kill for high CPU use) does not seem to cause this problem, and it hasn't happened before so I think it may be a regression.

I planned to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/HighTemperatures but /proc/acpi/thermal_zone does not exist.

Stuart,
My apologies for the delay responding on this. The team is interested in seeing if the previous mainline kernels exhibit this behavior. Specifically, they want to see if the .38 mainline kernel has the issue, and if so, test .37, etc till it goes away. We want to nail down 2 things, 1) is this something that was fixed and then re-broken? 2) where was the fix/why is it now broken again.

Would you be willing to test the mainline kernels? Information on how is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FMainlineBuilds

Thanks!
