Hi moritz

I don't know about KDE I'm not using it anymore but why don't you 
monitor the temperature of your harddisk and cpu? If their themperature 
stays reasonably low, you know that it has to be the GPU - don't know 
how to monitor this though ;-(

I myself use just the ondemand governor and the laptop-mode-tools on a T40p.

P.S.
if you need some script to monitor the temperatures just let me know, I 
found some on the internet.
