General :: Laptop Is Overheating And Shutting Down
Jun 11, 2011
I am on an Aspire 5315 and i have Backtrack 5,32bit,Gnome (ubuntu)installed with Vista as a dual boot on hdd.I am currently having problem with my laptop overheating and shutting down. In Vista the software Epower controls the fan but in linux I have to install acer_fancontrol and I have installed it as per instructions. It works fine till i reboot and then i get a frozen screen with the BT5 background and in terminal i get 1gear and goes on till 3rdgear without me being able to use BT5.

When I change the "When laptop lid is closed" option in Gnome Power Manager to either "Blank Screen" or "Do Nothing" (by manually using gconf-editor), the screen itself doesn't turn off when the lid is closed. Obviously not a huge deal, as I could just change the "idle before sleep" on certain occasions, but I liked that setting it to "Do Nothing" previously would actually turn off the screen when the lid was closed.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D which has a normal, Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and Vista 64-Bit dual boot. My problem is, on Ubuntu, the laptop overheats and crshes very fast, 5-15 minutes. I have the AMD GPU driver activated, and it is all normal, I havent done any tweaks apart from a GRUB tweak, that only lists 1 Linux Kernal at a time.

Is there any way to get openSUSE 11.2 to automatically shutdown or hibernate when the laptop is overheating? I often cannot tell when my computer is overheating as it sits on a table. When it over heats, the kernel panics and I have to hold the power button to force my computer to shut off.

My laptop is an Acer Travelmate 7530G, it runs an AMC Athlon X2 64 2.1Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD3470 Hybrid X2 512MB. In Ubuntu (all versions) the temperature sensor goes up to around 99C and apparently sometimes reaches up to 109C ! The laptop itself gets very hot (as one would imagine), and the fan is on highest constantly. But in windows this problem is not present.

I have blown-out and dusted the interior of the case with a feather brush, reseated the heat-sink with lots of paste, reseated the heatsink with a thin layer of paste, I've disabled speedstep in the BIOS to get the thing to run @ 1.2ghz instead of its' rated 2.0ghz, I've cleaned and lubed the fans with 3-in-1 oil. Yet, It still overheats. It goes like this. I'm running Slack -current BTW.
Boot ok...
XFCE4 starts ok...
gkrellm starts ok...
THM shows anywhere from 28 to 44C at this point...
Konsole starts ok...THM kicks up to 48C
Seamonkey starts...THM kicks to 50C
Load a ..... video to give the processor a workout
Within 2 mins THM spikes to 74C and fans start.
THM drops to 50C within a minute or so and then fans stop...
just let the machine sit for a minute...and...lockup
Hard reset
THM shows 66C during boot sequence
this pattern repeats every time I try to use this machine.

My laptop is frequently shutting down while using Google Earth 7.1.2.2041-r0. It uses 100% CPU, but only on one CPU core, and the problem happens at random.
I don't believe it is related to the CPU temperature, because I created a script that saves the current temperature every two seconds, so when the system shuts down I can see the last, and the highest I got from all the times was 62 °C, while the average from all the times it shut down was 57 °C from /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp*_input and 51 °C from /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp and /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input. From my research, I understand that coretemp-0 is the temperature of the CPU itself, while the others (acpitz-virtual-0) are from underneath the base of the CPU.
The files under /sys and the command `sensors' tell me that only 80° would trigger a shutdown. I bought this laptop in 2013, and I have never seen it go beyond 6-°C:
Code: Select allsensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +41.0°C (crit = +104.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +48.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 2: +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
I have done a simple stress test by running `cat /dev/zero >/dev/null' on 8 terminals, together with `glxgears' and `supertuxkart' for half an hour, and my system did not shutdown, neither the temperature went beyond 6-°C. The HD temperature lives around 42 °C, according to `sudo smartctl -l scttemp /dev/sda'.
The output from `inxi -F':
Code: Select allSystem: Host: localhost Kernel: 3.15.10-zen-686-pae i686 (32 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.10.2

Ever since I installed ubuntu 10.10, my laptop is shutting down due to high temperature within 15-20 mins. It makes my laptop literally unusable. Had posted the issue, got some advise but the issue didn't get resolved, hence posting again.
Below is previous post.

Is there any tool or way by which I can check if it's a hardware issue.

I've got a Dell M90 with an NVidia Quatro FX 3500 gpu. In Windows it would idle at around 45degrees. In Ubuntu 9.1 it idles at 65. Doing anything at all takes it up to 75-80 and playing a 3d game takes it to 90 withing a couple minutes.

I was hoping to install Fedora 15 x64 on my desktop on a seperate disk from Windows. I have tried about 15 times so far and keep getting errors. The same type of errors occur when trying Ubuntu 11.04 x64.
This is the spec of my PC:
Core i7 920 oc'ed to 4.00ghz (stable in Windows with temps under 60 degrees celcius at load)
Asus Rampage II Extreme
Sapphire Radeon 4890
6gb Ram
Install disk is an empty WD Caviar Black 1TB (Also, not sure if this is relevant, two soundcards - M-Audio Audiophile & Asus Xonar)
This is the error (I can't get it all written down because it reboots too quickly, so I've written down a selection):
SPU 4: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 5: be000000000800400
TSC 564..
And lower down the error: No human readable MCE decoding support on this processor type
I suspect this is due to overheating because when I boot back into windows the cpu temp has risen to 80+.
Is there going to be any way to get Linux on this machine without frying the processor?

I have some heavy, long processes running on remote Linux machines. I use my laptop to SSH to these machine and run the processes from my couch.
BUT, when I want to shutdown my laptop, I am in trouble since the remote processes are killed.
I did my research and found out that "screen" is a great solution for me, it is! (As long as I don't SHUTDOWN my laptop). Isn't there a way to "persist" the "screen" sessions so I can shut it down and then re-attach to a session?

I'm using Gnome 2.30.2 with Ubuntu 10.4 would like to shut down X Windows properly. Using sudo init 3 from console 1 or a terminal on the Gnome desktop results nothing. There are a bunch of ways of doing accomplishing this that I've seen, but the most recommended methods each cause the same errors. The methods that I've used are sudo service gdm stop, sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. After these commands are run I receive the following message: gdm stop/waiting.
Then I switch to console 7 & notice that the screen is frozen & has the following information:
There is a blinking cursor below this message & the terminal does not respond to any command including Ctrl z.
These are the same messages that are normally quickly displayed when linux normally boots.
I disabled the battery power option in & removed other unnecessary startup processes from System, Preferences, Startup Applications. I've tried running the gdm stop commands from terminals 1 & 2 as well as consoles in X Windows & it produces the same results. For some reason though, the gdm commands do work when I used the restart option.

When I shut down my computer I want to show some pending tasks that I have to do before leaving the office...
I did a local application to manage those tasks, so basically I just want to run a command, and shut down after I kill the app executed.
I have already tried with these options:
/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default --> this works only when I select LogOut option instead Shutdown. /etc/rc0.d/K01mycustomscript --> execute script after X is killed $HOME/.bash_logout --> This looks like does nothing. ./app-to-run && sudo shutdown -h now --> Don't like it for 2 reasons, prompts for sudo password, and can't use my laptop shutdown button.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows and sometimes I just want to switch between the partitions without loosing the state of the OS I was currently working with. Currently to do that I just hibernate that OS and, when the computer turns off, I restart it and select the correct partition.
I do not really want to have to press the on button again every time I want to switch between partitions. I figure that there must be a way to make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down.
How do I make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down on:
Windows, or Ubuntu
P.S. It is more important to me that I can do this in Ubuntu than Windows (because of the way I use the partitions) therefore if one answer says the Ubuntu way and the other says the Windows way then I will mark the Ubuntu one as the answer and give the Windows one an upvote and a big thankyou.

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it works fine. Next, I attempted to install Apache 2.2.16 server on the machine. I was able to get Apache installed but I cant't get it to start. The command I used to get it to start is "apachectl -k start" and got the response "command not found". Then I used the absolute path which is "/home/Administrator/Downloads/apache/bin/apachectl -k start" and got the response"httpd: could not reliably determine ther server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.no listening to sockets available, shutting down". Please advise me on what to do. My eyes hurt from looking at the screen for so long trying different options and reading almost all the apache install instructions that exists. Just ready to have it up and running.

Ubuntu 10.10 maverick on a Lenovo s10e.
I keep getting a message on startup (although not every time) which tells me the critical temperature is reached (87 C) and the machine is shutting down (unfortunately it's not being written to the log). I then reboot after it has shut down and it's fine.

I have configured Kaffeine to work with my Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950Q USB device, and am able to get channels scanned, and can get sound, video from channels, etc. However, its use overheats my laptop to the degree it literally shuts down- turns off! Any suggestions? It took some effort to get this to work in Ubuntu 10.10; however, if it heats up the laptop to this degree what good is it?!

With windows I was able to leave my computer on my lap and go for hours on end its never overheated on me and it still doesn't with windows, but with ubuntu it will last around 30-1h then it will overheat or even faster if I do anything like play a game or watch flash. And its not a problem with the new flash release because last year when I had ubuntu 10.04 it did the same thing (im on 10.10)

I have noticed that the Acer Travelmate '10.04 netbook', is heating up while bringing it out of suspended mode,that's when it does'nt decide to turn off the whole machine instead. Should 'nt it be asleep?.. I would use hibernate but that surely does'nt come back on. I stopped trying so I used suspend instead. but the temp must be around 48� .I removed a usb mouse that fed off the power supply and still left a usb in ,but that shouldnt prevent it from goin to bed ,right?..Windoze doe'nt like it ,emm does't do it , Not notsleep ...

When I connect my flash drive into the USB port on my computer, it starts overheating and within 1 minute, its too hot to pull out with my bare fingers. But when I plugged it into USB port of my Pioneer CDJ 2000 (DJ player), it didnt overheat and it was able to read files (I did firmware update). Should I throw it in the trash and buy a new one? It's only 2 GB drive.
