Did you consider the possibility that the CPU is really overheating ? In that case, you should be glad that the machine shut down and avoided further harm.
The hints from here http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/050104.html were most useful: - CPU Cooler properly mounted using a good thermal conductivity grease ? - Is cpu-throtting (dynamic frequency scaling) enabled in the Bios ? Make sure it is enabled. Enabling cpu-throttling and a larger cooler solved the problem for me. Other possibilities are: - Did you check whether the CPU fan is available/running ? - Its unlikely but possible that the temperature sensor is not working correctly. -- ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device 'on' (Quadcore-AMD64, Ubuntu64) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
