--- Comment #51 from Zdenek Behan <r...@matfyz.cz> 2011-03-11 09:54:34 --- I had my laptop "deep-cleaned" in an authorized service (essentially, completely disassemble of the heatsink part, cleaning, applying new thermal paste, assemble). Temperatures during heavy load have gone down by as much as 20 degrees, and I am no longer able to reproduce this no matter how much load I impose on the poor thing. In fact I'm unable to cause the fan to go 100%, unlike before where it sometimes went to 100% even without any serious load. Before the servicing, I also managed to eliminate the issue by using an active cooling pad. So for me, this was definitely caused by temperature being too high, as I reported previously. Still, I wouldn't expect a laptop to panic when core temperature peaks at 85 celsius degrees as reported by acpi-tz, and the reported temperature in panic message is entirely off (127 degrees). In fact I could imagine some laptops with not so well designed cooling, for which this temperature may be an out-of-the-box (no thick layer of dust) experience under heavy load. Perhaps that is the case of some other reporters who simply run too hot normally, and get "random" panics. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
