Too high cpu load with HP 6510b

orschiro · 2009-06-23 21:17:20

Hello guys,

I have a very high cpu load on my laptop even if nothing despite htop is running. I guess it's a problem with acpi because when I deactivate acpi completely over the bootline I have no such problems.

How could I fix that?

Thank you in advance.

Add noacpi to the kernel line in GRUB, reboot, and see if that helps. You PM'ed me about this model, I can't say I ever had such problems though. ACPI worked fine for me (maybe you have a different revision, who knows?).

Does the CPU spiking stop if you kill X?

Hello B,

unluckily noacpi doesn't help but acpi=off. That seems to be the only way to stop the high load.

Is there any patched acpi or something else?

I also think I picked the bad revision with fan problems and some more...

I owned a 6519b too, but sold it.
Didn't have your highload-problem, but had the fan problem right after i bought it. So i sent it in to hp repair center and 5 days later they replaced the fan and everything was ok.

Hello rebugger,

I bought that notebook second-hand so there's no change to repair that for free and to pay for that is not worth for me. So are there any other possibilities I could try out?

Don't think so. Latest bios won't help either. I'm sorry, that I can't help.

No problem, anyone else?

I had a 6510b that ran arch (32-bit) for about 10 months with no problems.

As a side note, I recently put ubuntu on it and the motherboard burned up 2 weeks later (while the laptop sat idle). I put ubuntu on another 6510b and so far so good (going on 4 weeks).

Hmm ok what packages have/had you installed?

I just reinstalled my arch only with the packages from base and from the xorg group. The load is still too high...
