Overheating problem ( cannot solved )

[jonnyboysmithy]

So run:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and put into the file:

modprobe radeon
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

into the file above the line that says exit 0
Click save, and close.


Sorry my mistake, the second command is actually supposed to be like this:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Add this line at the bottom of the file and remember to click save.

blacklist fglrx

How's those temperatures? Cooling down?


You really worry you have to make the letters bigger? I can read this text size fine... sorry if I misunderstand..

This problem is back again. I do the same steps back again and I get this error when I type the command "sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"

Error msg : cat: /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: No such file or directory

Ok, I've never had that problem, but after a bit of googling it appears you need to run:

sudo mount debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug

Before you can switch it off.


Here, follow these instructions: http://planetoss.com/articles/how-to...card-in-linux/

Please use "gksudo gedit" (no quotes) instead of "sudo gedit". See here why.

It's kinda weird. The problem occurs when I did a base update. Software updates are fine. It's OK now
