[Bug 484514] Re: Fan never powers up causing cpu overheating and shutdown

[Tommy Prevatt]

I am also on an Acer Aspire 5720 laptop, and I'm running 9.10.

I don't know if it's  hardware sensor problem, or cpu fan control
problem, but here's what I've noticed with it:

1) It seems to only detect the temperature at system start, and then
thinks it's that temperature the rest of the session... which is
especially bad if it's a cold boot.

2) If it detects a high temperature(which is only if you restart it
after runing some intensive programs) it doesn't really sound like the
fans go very fast. I recently switched, probably perminantly, from
Windows, and Windows makes those fans blow like crazy on occasion.

3) Everything that I have that checks the temperature of my cpu's only
detects one cpu of the two.(it's a duel-core t2330) The 'sensors'
command and the gui's I have only show one sensor... which may be
connected to the 2nd problem of the fans not running as much as you
would expect they would.
