 Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 11:29 am Post subject: (SOLVED) laptop sudenly crashing |
 |
|
Hi,
I have been getting a weird error for some weeks, random crashes in my laptop (it sudenly turns down). Fortunately I didnot lose any data or damage anything, but of course it worries me.
I am a n00b, so I could have forget to set something at the kernel... And I have some weird temperature readings:
| Code: | cat /var/log/kernel/log-2011-12-12-08\:44\:51 | grep temp
Dec 11 07:35:38 [kernel] [60610.791671] CPU1: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 16840)
Dec 11 07:35:38 [kernel] [60610.792446] CPU1: Core temperature/speed normal
Dec 11 13:33:04 [kernel] [12423.688889] CPU1: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1)
Dec 11 13:33:04 [kernel] [12423.689664] CPU1: Core temperature/speed normal |
I don't know what kind of info is usefull to post here... 
The laptop is a Acer Aspire 5720G, a 64-bit system, NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS. It is already some 4 years old but up to now, it always worked fine.
Some observations I made:
1) It usually happens when I start using the laptop, i.e., if I turn the laptop on and it doesnot crash in the first 15 minutes, it does not crash anymore.
2) When it crashes and I turn it on again, it wont crash again.
3) Just before crashing (1 second before), everything gets really slow.
4) It usually happens if I am browsing the internet, independent of the browser (chromium or rekonq). It is more probable to happen if the webpage is heavy on flash.
5) First 15 minutes of use with a flash video on full screen is almost certain it will crash.
6) But it has happened to crash with no flash or webbrowsing involved (was watching a video on Dragon Player).
All help is apreciated!
Thanks,
Roger
EDIT: I cited flash a lot, so this could be useful:
| Code: | =================================================================
Package Settings
=================================================================
www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.1.102.55 was built with the following:
USE="64bit kde (multilib) -32bit -vdpau"

and also

Package Settings
=================================================================
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-285.05.09-r1 was built with the following:
USE="(multilib) -acpi -custom-cflags -gtk"
|
EDIT 2: I have never looked at the nvidia use flags... Notice the -acpi there. Will recompile it. Is this the possible cause or is there something else?

Hi roger_lf,
If it isn't a fresh gentoo install and you didn't observed such behavior in your previous OS, chances are that you have a hardware problem.
Have you tried to boot with gentoo live CD or any other OS?

Hi roger_if,
You might be dealing with hardware problems. Have a look in the Gentoo hardware instability guide.

| This looks like overheating. The dmesg message indicates that your CPU is running too hot and that it's been throttled to lower the temperature. Random shutdowns also point towards overheating. |

Have you ever cleaned the inside of the laptop?
If not you might try that first.
Gerard.

To install Gentoo I use sysrescuecd.Based on Gentoo,has firefox to browse Gentoo docs and mc to browse (and edit) files.
The same disk can be used for 32 and 64 bit installs.
