Hi All,
I am using ASUS vivobook with Gentoo Kernel 5.4.6 and sometimes for random reasons, my fan starts to spin faster and automatically shuts down. Is there a monitoring tool that allows to find out why a random shutdown happens.

If the shutdown happens the next time the system restart ends in Kernel Panic. But going to a prior version and coming back to the current version resolves the kernel panic. My suspicion for this behavior seems to be that of Suspend to Ram / hibernation. To find out why this happens is there a monitoring tool / is there a setting that allows the event logging retrieval to figure out why this happened?

Hi
Then for starting disable any hibernation/suspend features from your DE and see if it helps.
But if the fan starts spinning loudly maybe something to do with thermal.
Please check if this util might help you to monitor the temperature.
Code:

sys-apps/lm-sensors

Also kindly have a look ath this about power-management

You can try to check the logs for crazy stuff happening:
Code:

grep -i error /var/log/messages

Maybe also a professionally written kernel .config would help.

:)

The following wiki article can be helpful, too: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Lm_sensors
