Description Manny 2009-02-01 00:56:03 UTC
Description of problem:
System experiences slowdown from too many interrupts being fired. CPU does not go back to low frequency. GPU and CPU temperature elevated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Linux thinx 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 01:33:24 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
Tends to be triggered by activities that tend to use the graphics display highly. Such as flash videos.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on computer
2. Use system normally. 

  
Actual results:


Expected results:
System should perform normally. Interrupt should not be the top causes for cpu wakeups.
