Hi guys,
I have an ACER 5536 laptop with AMD Radeon HD3200 M780G chipset.
SB700 south bridge chip on the mainboard is too high in absence of AMD properietary driver. I searched all over AMD.com site and found the driver for GPU under linux. but there's no driver for the SB700 as part of the M780G chipset. Thus the South Bridge is too hot and as it's placed upon hard-drive, HDD temperature get's to high up to 62C. So I can not use linux on my laptop because of the high temperature. What should I do to solve the problem? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Temperatures are as below:
In Ubuntu 10.10 when no AMD drivers installed: GPU: 70C CPU:60C, HDD: 62C
In Ubuntu 10.10 when AMD catalyst driver installed: GPU: 50C CPU:45C, HDD: 62C
In windows when no AMD drivers installed: GPU and CPU: seem to be warm, HDD: 50C
In windows when all AMD drivers installed: GPU and CPU: seem to be cool, HDD: 38C
Kernel of my Ubuntu 10.10 is updated to 2.6.32-28-generic. Also I installed the kernel PAE to support my 4GB ram.
My Ubuntu 10.10 is the 32bit version.
I tried both "ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run" and "ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run" drivers and no difference seen on south bridge and HDD temperatures.
