[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off

[ybaruss]

Hello everybody,

This bug look to be strong regarding number of comment related !!

For the little storie, I actually have a Toshiba laptop with AMD
Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 on it and experienced different
problems with Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and now 10.04. I have to say that people
under Ubuntu are performing marvelous job because problems are solved
while time passing ... thanks to them all !

For this "Over temperature spurious shutdown" problem I have to say that
I have it since Ubuntu 8.04 and still exist on 10.04. I would advise to
toggle off temperature check into temporary kernel used on Ubuntu
install CD because it can be very annoying while no risk to burn CPU
during Ubuntu installation stage.

After taking time to read all those comments on this bug, I would also
vote for a fan management issue because I confirm to have nothing into
/proc/acpi/fan and that sensors-detect provides no fan sensor for my
hardware. So how can the OS manage fan optimization with no input ?!?

I am very interested to have feedbacks on investigation status on this
problem and could provide informations if needed.
