Yep, the same thing, but I think it was something with the GPU. It was always at 100% and ±230 MHz. When I turned on “Manual GPU Clock Control”, but let the slider at 1600 MHz, GPU clock went up, but GPU utilization went down.
Yeah, that looks like the same issue mine had. I read that it was an APU firmware/BIOS bug. Hopefully the newer units have patched firmware to fix this. In my case it started happening after I let the battery completely die and didn't charge it up for a month, so I've been more careful about keeping mine charged up now.
I actually had that problem a couple of days ago and was able to fix it myself by using the steam OS "main" channel instead of stable. The main channel is probably close to alpha. After that I could go back and it stayed fixed. So it seems that the new software indeed solved this problem.
