 |
|
Tonight I was making a compilation and this morning I found my laptop off. Looking in /var/log/messages I find:
| Code: | Aug 9 03:31:15 sotomayor Critical temperature reached (191 C), shutting down.
Aug 9 03:31:15 sotomayor shutdown[10365]: shutting down for system halt
Aug 9 03:31:16 sotomayor init: Switching to runlevel: 0
Aug 9 03:31:22 sotomayor Critical temperature reached (65 C), shutting down.
Aug 9 08:03:31 sotomayor syslog-ng[6314]: syslog-ng version 1.6.8 starting |
Kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r6, and I've not upgraded recently. It seems a little strange that my CPU was 191 C, survived, cooled down to 65 in 7 seconds and now it works perfectly. My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra M2 (Centrino 2 GHz with 855 chipset).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance |

191C? Wow that's hot. Sounds like a faulty sensor to me. 191C would melt the case would it not? Does it do the same thing with Windows?

Indeed. No more laptop if CPU is at 191 C.

No, and it never happened with Gentoo before. It's running from more thant three months without any problem. |

Perhaps it was a fluke. If it happens again I'd say its a hardware problem.
