I have a Samsung laptop and installed Archlinux on it. At first everything was fine, I was even surprised at how nice everything was, no driver problems, everything went smooth. I could watch videos and it would barely get hot.But after an update (with pacman -Syu), it started overheating (and getting slower as it starts to overheat). I'm not sure about what update was because I didn't notice it right away. I notice it the most when I'm watching videos but it is always hot and I can't really watch videos anymore because then it gets really slow.I also installed flash, I'm not sure which one worked, I think it was chromium-pepper-flash. But I also have flashplugin installed.I don't think CPU frequency scaling utilities are the right solution because it was working before. What are my options? How do I detect what caused the problem?Edit: Added some statsRunning chrome with 8 text/js tabs opened (Amazon, stackexchange, wired, ...): Average temperature: 75 Celsius degreesAverage %CPU: 10%Average memory: 43%Same as above but with a Youtube video in fullscreen:Average temperature: 93+ Celsius degrees (had to stop before it crashed)Average %CPU: 80%Average Memory: 47%Does this mean the problem is with the GPU driver?
