Ubuntu 12.04 LTS heating issue.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My CPU went around 80-90 C from Firefox and Audacious. That's wrong, I'm start to worry I might break something, my laptop.

This problem became clear after I got update today. Even when I do nothing, my CPU has 4 cores, each went up to 100% at times.

Please help me fixed this, my hands are melting, as well as my laptop.

If this occurs again, go into the system monitor look under processes and see which process is using up all the cores. Most likely its a configuration file problem.

I might found the root of this issue. Now I have no problem about heating issue at all. I had noticed that when Ubuntu's suspended, the temp was increasing constantly. So, I disabled suspend in Ubuntu. I'm happy now.

Can anyone confirm, is this a bug?
