I experienced this problem (sudden shutdown due to overheating) on a ThinkPad X61. I worked around it by manually setting the fan speed higher when performing CPU-intensive tasks (e.g., installing an OS on a guest virtual machine).
Will now install thinkfan which should automate this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751689 Title: Thinkpad x201* overheats due to slow fans when on 'auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
