[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
I did some research on this issue and I got very confused. As I was looking for the possible reasons, I began finding many issues that could be related: - May it be a problem with the sensors? I found that the sensors-detect command didn't find any supported sensors in my system. the sensors command just show two temperatures 26.8º and 0.0ºC. - May it be ACPI? I read about some problems with ACPI, but I didn't get anything clear about those readings. Too many issues were involved and it could be anything. No need to say that I don't know much about linux , so I finally gave up with Debian Squeeze and I tried to go back to Ubuntu, which was working good, with no issues. But, what a surprise, after installing it from scratch, the system overheated and shut down! I let y laptop cool down and started it again to install the wireless drivers and keep googling about the reasons of the overheat. I got the wireless set up and then a message from Ubuntu's Driver Manager pop up showing the possibility to install the Driver for Broadcom's wireless and ATI's privative FGLRX driver. I read in several forums that the overheat problem could come from the GPU and not the CPU, and until the moment, after installing the FGLRX driver it seems that the system doesn't overheat anymore (at least not to the point of shutting down). I'll keep updated about whether the FGLRX driver solved the problem or not. If everything keeps stable, I'll try to reinstall Squeeze and then checking if the FGLRX solves the problem in Debian too.

Hi Greya, I'm having the same problem you had, but in my case the laptop do shut down. I also have a Dell studio 1558 (bought about 8 months ago) and I recently installed Debian Squeeze. At first it worked fine, with no overheating problems. The only thing I did is setting up the wireless (installing the drivers) and some automatic updates for the packages. I followed your recommendations and I upgraded the system BIOS from v4 to v11 from Windows 7, but the problem still persists. I can keep the laptop running if I don't load it with tasks, but when I start working with 2 or 3 apps at the same time it shutts down. I don't know why the system began having these problems given that the fresh installation of Squeeze worked apparently fine. I googled searching for this, but the closest report to my problem I found is yours. I have a dual boot with Windows 7 and windows works goods, so I discarded a hardware issue (the laptop is also pretty new). Before Debian Squeeze I had Ubuntu Lenny (10.04) and it also worked good, so I guess is a problem with Debian. Did you have the same problem again after upgrading the BIOS? Have you any clue about what the problem could be? I'll keep researchig about it, but any idea you could have would be very helpful to me.

[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
Hello Eloi Espanol, I will describe in details my situation after BIOS upgrade (hope it can help): After upgrading BIOS I had the sensors applet showing ACPI temperature (110 C) again, but it was different: - Before upgrade: it was 110C all the time since booting and the laptop was laggy and slow all the time. - After upgrade: it booted okay, but in one hour or two, when I was working in some heavy program (VMware Workstation, Photoshop) - I heard my fan starting to work loudly and I saw again temp-applet showing ACPI 110C. But! I think this applet doesn's show the temperature quite right - cause there are only two temperatures it showed me - 27C or 110C (and it didn't change for any other throughout the day). So, I looked through the System Tools Log File Viewer: and I didn't find the message I saw before BIOS upgrade Critical temperature reached (110 C), shutting down. Just another message kinda ACPI ... 110C (didn't save it). I also saw this in the syslog: fan PNP0C0B:00: registered as cooling_device0 ACPI: Fan [FAN0] (off) fan PNP0C0B:01: registered as cooling_device1 ACPI: Fan [FAN1] (off) And I thought maybe something was wrong here, but laptop fan worked OK, since I heard it working and changing the speed sometimes. And now, when everything's fine - this message is still there and the fans work fine. So, I thought about two variants left to try: either the laptop fans were in dust (I didn't clean it after buying) or maybe it's something connected with VMware Workstation processes (there are many of the running at boot and running all the time when VMware isn't even in use). Cause when I tried to remember when this laggy problem started to occur on my previous system - Ubuntu 10.10 (the one I had before installing Debian, and before Debian I had 3 or 4 previous versions of Ubuntu and it worked OK) - I remembered I had recently upgraded VMware Workstation to the last version (v.7.1.3-324285.). Also, just after I installed Debian 6.0 - I worked on my laptop for one or two days without having this problem - it took me to finish tuning up my system and installing everything I need. One of the last programs I installed was exactly the last version of VMware. And here the laggy problem began (as fas as I remember)! So, I tried both: 1) I thouroughly vacuum-cleaned the fans (laptop shut down of course :) 2) AND, I downgraded VMware Workstation to previous version 7.1.2-301548. And the problem's gone... I worked in Photoshop for couple of hours with large files and everything worked fine, I didn't work in VMware though. But it's already two days I don't have this problem again. And after cleaning the fans - I almost don't hear it working, it's not loud at all - there were pretty much dust in there. Maybe all this is too much detailed, but I don't really know what helped to solve my problem - maybe it was vmware processes , or maybe it was the dust.. OH, and another note! I upgraded BIOS to v10, not v11. When I was googling this laggy problem, I once read in some bug report that people who upgraded their DELL BIOS to v11 had this problem occur again (on Windows 7 though) - and the solution was to downgrade BIOS to v10. Maybe it could help you too, but I think you should find out more information about this variant before downgrading.

[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
Hi Greya, Thank you very much for your detailed comments about it, they're really helpful! When I upgraded the BIOS to v11, I tried leaving the laptop on for some time without running any applications and it apparently worked just fine (although I didn't check the temperature). It was when I started running some applications that it shut down. Given that before installing all the apps I wanted to have the system worked good for a couple of days, I think it might be something I did, maybe some applications I installed (compiz, cairo-dock or any other) or something in the process of installing the drivers for the wireless (I installed hybrid_wl and the r8168 modules and that also required me to change the initramfs file). I'm not an expert in Linux, it's a hobby for me (I like this sort of things) so sometimes, to make things work (for instance, installing the wireless modules) I just follow the steps I read about without really understanding what I'm exactly doing. Hence, I guess I probably did something wrong without noticing. I think I'm going to start a fresh installation to see what the problem could be. I'll start just re-installing the base system, check if it doesn't overheat for a couple of days, then I'll install the wireless modules, check for a couple of days, etc. I think going step by step will help me find out what's wrong. And I'll also clean the fans! I think I'll also check the temperatures on Windows 7 to make sure the BIOS upgrade to v11 won't cause me any trouble. Once again, thank you for sharing your experience. I'll keep the list updated about how is everything going, maybe I can find out what package is the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 Title: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Laptop behaviour: everything very slow, hdd temp=42-50 C, ACPI temp = 110C (I monitored it in the gnome-panel applet computertemp) System: I was running Ubuntu 10.10 and this bug didn't appear immediately after upgrade (clean reinstall from 10.04). Last week I moved to Debian 6.0 (squeeze) due to my personal preferences and also hoping this bug to dissapear - but it didn't! Today I've found the fix: BIOS Update! Just performed the update (I had BIOS version A04 - updated to version A10) Now, everything looks and feels normal and smooth again! (computertemp shows ACPI temp=27C) I found 2 ways to do it: 1) under Linux - through libsmbios package (explanations given for Debian, not Ubuntu, though) http://www.ducea.com/2007/08/27/dell-bios-firmware-updates-on-debian/ 2) via Windows 7 Live CD (not Windows XP, cause the DELL Studio 1558 BIOS doesn't support WinXP and you will have a Blue Screen of death with acpi.sys error!) I used the second way, cause there is no bios update file for linux for this laptop - why? explained here http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?1534809-Studio%201558%20BIOS%20updates%20not%20available (Quite a few desktop and notebook systems don't have a method to update BIOS that's supported by firmware-tools. :-( In particular, this model has its Windows-executable BIOS in a package format that firmware-extract doesn't recognize.)

[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
I can confirm this bug still exists in Ubuntu 10.10 (and 10.04). I have a Toshiba U500-119 and the issue mainly comes from a buggy DSDT table. Vendors are totally unable to compile their DSDT table correctly for non-Windows OS. After fixing errors in my DSDT table and recompiling it (then include it in my kernel...) I could use my laptop in normal conditions with a working fan. Please find my DSDT table in attachment, What I needed to do was replacing L0r by And in PowerResource methods. There are still some warnings but I don't know how to fix them. The workaround was found here and can be applied to any buggy DSDT tables : http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1473317page=3 This bug is extremely severe, it was kicked in 2009 and is still not solved, even if it applies to many laptops. ** Attachment added: DSDT table with fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/370173/+attachment/1834803/+files/dsdt.dsl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 Title: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am also suspected a fan control problem because when CPU is being used at full speed, fan just go for a little burst but could do it longer in order to cool a bit more. For me the directory /proc/acpi/fan is empty and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points has no active trip points (those starting with AC) then there is no ACPI-based fan control on my system (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI).

Thanks dmiller309 but your solution doesn't work for me. I don't think this bug is about GPU over temperature problem, it seems more due to bad temperature reading that lead to critical shutdown. I was expecting to have details on what went wrong within system logs when critical shutdown occurs but the only related error is: [ 14.623699] k8temp :00:18.3: Temperature readouts might be wrong - check erratum #141 There is no evidence of who causes the shutdown.

I was able to completely solve this computer on my Studio 1555 by doing the following: 1. Run the command sudo amdcccle (no quotes) 2. Under the PowerPlay page (left), uncheck the box Enable PowerPlay 3. Click OK The problem was that the graphics card on my computer was overheating, not the CPU (I kept a CPU log to be sure of this).

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 ?!?

[Bug 370173] Re: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
I have same problem with my PHILCO PHN 15008 with ubuntu 10.04 b2 and 9.10. Mandriva doesn't has problem. When I use windows seven or only BIOS system or Mandriva 2009, everything is normal. If I load Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04, the cooler turn off. I used acpi.power_nocheck=1 and now the cooler turn on, but with very low rotation. I use cored 2 duo + pm45 + ich9m. In the ubuntu installation, the same problem appeared. Before use this flag, in normal situation with 20c ambient, core 2 duo was 90+ celsius with stress app (stress -c 2). After used this flag, i had 60~70 celsius. The critical is 97c and if the system getting there, the system (probably BIOS) turn off my computer. -- laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
