Also seeing this problem on a Toshiba Satellite L515 with Ubuntu 11.04, insyde H20 BIOS (latest version) Things to note:
1) It wasn't happening on 10.10, only after upgrading to 11.04 2) If I wait until the CPU heats up and then reboot, the fan starts working at full speed and continues to do so until shutdown, even with temperatures around 31 C. I have tried the "wait 30 seconds inside GRUB after cold start before booting the OS", but it didn't work (guess it wasn't enough temp buildup for the fan to start) -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
