I have recently installed FC5 along side of FC4 on my emachines laptop.
When booted into FC5, after running for a period of time, the laptop
suffers a hard freeze. No keys work. The mouse does not work. I cannot
ping the laptop from other PCs on my network. The only way to regain
control is to hold down the power button until the laptop powers off.
I strongly suspect this a heat issue. The friend I got the laptop from
originally bought it at a deep discount because it would freeze up on
several prior potential customers. He realized the fan was not running
after the laptop booted and concluded that the WinXP home edition
installed did not have a driver for the fan. He loaded Ubuntu and it
worked like a charm. I have been running FC4 for 4 or 5 months without
problem as well. The problem has apparently returned with FC5.
Anyone know what I need to do to get FC5 to run the fan on my laptop?
This is an area I am very ignorant in.
Thanks!
Andrew Robinson
