First, some general remarks: Please use meaningful thread titles, if you post in the video subforum it's obvious that you have a video problem. Also you shouldn't use upper case-only, as this is regarded as shouting/screaming, which doesn't improve your chances of being helped. A more appropriate title would have been "ATI Mobility radeon wrong driver/overheating" or something like that.

Now, about your issue:
How did you measure the temperature or that your computer is too hot? What does too hot mean exactly?
Also you mentioned you chose the other driver, that would be which driver exactly? Also what do you mean by "computer shut down and can not start"? Where there any error messages, and did the computer shut down by itself?

For the problem in general, please have a look here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Err ... rd_drivers and the section about ATI directly below.
