The bug still affects ubuntu users with the latest release 12.04. My PC reboots after one minute of high CPU usage due to excessive heat ( 100°C). But I'm not sure it's only a problem with fan control. I found several interesting things: * whatever is the fan speed (disengaged and set manually to

I also had this problem repeatingly with different versions of Kubuntu. As it turns out, the reason for this, is not the fan, but rather a problem with the intel graphics driver which is not loaded correctly. On Kubuntu I always notice it when there is a problem to activate Desktop Effects.

I guess that's a different problem, in idle my CPU temperature (X201) is just about 50°C. So this bug is usually only relevant under load. And I don't have the problem anymore since I manually control the fan using thinkfan. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I urge everyone experiencing this bug to get their hardware checked (hopefully under warranty). For me (X201 tablet), having the fan replaced (and I think thermal paste applied correctly) brought temperatures down from ≈60°C‒65°C idle and 80°C‒100°C (+shutdown) under full load, to 60°C under full

I didn't see that problem but once the fan speed had some sort of glitch and went up to some extreme loud level (way more than 5000 RPM) and then it just fell back to 0 RPM (sensors) while the temperature was at the 45°C range. Usually my x40 just sits around with 0 RPM and it's not that clean
