I don't use suspend/resume. It overheats when it his max cpu for over 2
minutes or so and I don't have it propped up for extra airflow. (It has
big fan intakes on the bottom of the laptop.)
There is no control in the bios setup to adjust temperature controls. It
is an HP zv5200. It was pretty nice three+ years ago. Getting a big
worn now.
I see this problem a lot with an older HP laptop. I have the
cpu-frequency applet set up in gnome and shift down the speed using the
applet control. My bios does not set the maximum speed either.
Not a wonderful cure but it works to prevent cpu from shutting down when
running transactions.
