Hey guys, hope you all doing good

Problem: my laptop (HP dv6000) is being overheated cause of fault in the graphic chip (Nvidia).

anyways i'm looking for a way too reduce that over heating i've been searching around for a while now and i need your help to suggest a power management tool (an advanced one) that will enable me to reduce the power consumption by the CPU which will lead to reducing its frequency and heat or a tool that will allow me to reduce my CPU frequency (cant do it through the BIOS). I'm searching for anything that will help to reduce the overheating.

Notice that I'm facing this problem not only with Kali i also faced it with Backtrack and Ubuntu alos Win.

Any help would be appreciated,,

Thanks in advance .

I've had similar problems with AMD/ATI Graphics card. Only way I could fix overheating problem is by installing Graphics card drivers.

Have you tried this?
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux

There's bunch of posts in the forum and out in Google about how to install NVIDIA drivers in Kali/Debian.

Once done, follow http://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?16171-Enable-Laptop-Mode-in-Kali! to enable laptop mode. These two would significantly drop the temperature.
