-) are you running it on a hard desk? I know laptops that overheat even from a simple tablecloth beneath them.
Answer: Yes, an oak table with no tablecloth. -) are the fans clear? Depending upon the environment fans can get really really fast clogged. Answer: Yes, completely free of dust and debris. I can feel the airflow, especially with the fan running 4000-5000 rpm. The laptop idles at 40-45C now, which is quite cool - even in comparison to other users with T61's. Operating temps ranging in the 60's. NORMAL. Note: this is a 15" T61 with the 2.5 GHz, not 14" with a slower CPU. Note: the issue does not occur in Hardy either. Note: the thermal shutdowns occur while I'm not actively using the laptop, typically in the middle of the night. I wake up in the morning to a cold laptop, and log messages about thermal trip points reached in the middle of the night. Note: I can reproduce the issue by running stress. If Hardy runs cool, can it still be a hardware issue? If the thermal paste was bad, wouldn't it overheat all the time? What is unique to Jaunty that that would be the only place I see the issue? Why doesn't it overheat *while I'm using the laptop*? (when it is indeed on my *lap* and not on a table) Why are *so* many people *other* reporting this issue? -- Ubuntu 9.04 laptop overheat and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
