Hello,
I noticed this problem after kernel update of 4.14.14. Before the
update CPU temp
would stay somewhere in 38-48 degrees zone. Since the update however,
only
when laptop's battery is charging(and I'm using it at the same time)
CPU
temp gets as high as 60-70 degrees and it eventually causes a crash
which
forces me to restart.
NOTE: I'm not saying this issue is related to the kernel update I'm
just
saying I noticed it after the update only.
My machine: Asus UX301ne laptop
CPU: intel Corei7 6500 skylake 2.5GHz
Graphics: Intel HD graphics + Nvidia GTX 950m
How I tried to solve the problem:
Firstly I noticed that when plugged in and charging, Opening up the
gnome-settings and clicking on "Details" causes a crash that forces
me to
restart. I don't know how I can find any info on why that happens.
Secondly I think this is somehow related to my hybrid cards and the
open-source driver of NVIDIA. Also possibly PRIME. I do not know how
I can
check this unfortunately. In addition, this question seems to address
the
same problem of mine.

e-charging-really-hot-with-monitor-fans-cant-tell/
However none of the solutions provided at the page helped me.
Also Fans Work fine. They go 5400rpm when I plug the charger in.
I should say that I don't need the NVIDIA graphics at all! Intel
would
do... So if there is a way to disable NVIDIA and get rid of this
problem It
would be allright. Also if possible I would like to avoid non-free
drivers.
Any help and/or clue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
And one word of advice: Don't buy Hybrid Graphic devices...
they're waste of time and money :(
Try adding 'modprobe.blacklist=nouveau rd.blacklist=nouveau' to the
kernel cmdline at boot. If this helps you can make it permanent
by using for example 'grubby', see:
