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.
The problem is proved to be with the open-source nouveau NVIDIA graphics
driver. Solution would be disabling it or installing the NVIDIA non-free
driver + bumblebee (I've not tested that).
To disable it you can add the following in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable
inside '/etc/default/grub' file: 'modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
rd.blacklist=nouveau'
This blocks the NVIDIA driver and system wouldn't use it anymore.
