I have been following the "fedora causes laptop to overheat" as my HP dv6500 is showing signs of malfunctioning, potentially an overheating issue. Display flickers, part of it get dim, and then it goes black. Computer is still up and running as I can ssh into it. I've looked into the BIOS options to see if there is any diagnostic info I can get and nothing there. I was hoping that someone on the overheating thread might mention a way to validate if the fan is working. I'm resigned to a repair job, but that means I have to strip off Fedora and put the original Vista back on (ick) if I want anyone to take a look at it. Pain in the you-know-what, but it a good machine and my only x86_64. Before I consider actually doing it, I wanted to ask if there is the equivalent of "a recovery disk" that I can create with k3b so, assuming the problem is fixable, I can reinstall without having to go back to the original install disk (and then go through all the customizations and additional downloads). I've look on the Fedora docs (installation_guide) and didn't see anything. I am presuming that this is something that exists and I just haven't been able to google the right thing (or I've googled and not seen it as the right thing).
