Re: temperature problems

 Thanks for your answer, but seems like the problem have not relation with frequency throttling. I say that because in my system I have not control to change these kind of things. I want to say that all the frequencies still all the time the same.  More over I tried to active the control of the cpu frequencies but I did not success with that, but is OK, I will ask about it in other mail, ;-).

 Thank a lot any way,
