My machine is actually quite clean (the Thinkpad A31p). It just gets
really hot, unfortunately. Next time I think I'll get something that
runs a little cooler...

Hi,

Any suggestions? This seems to happen nightly on my IBM Thinkpad
A31p, fc4t1. :-( (yes the fan is working :-)
Cron runs a bunch of housekeeping and maintainance utilities
starting at 4 AM. Even if the fan is running, to hit 95C
indicates the unit needs more air, lots more air, or its full of
dust bunnies & needs an air hose taken to its internals. 95C is
very very hot indeed.
Just checked my logs since I've had at least one spurious shutdown a
short while after booting. No cron jobs running and the laptop was
feeling cooler than it does normally after a couple of hours' use.
[root@localhost vex]# grep "Critical temp" /var/log/messages.*
/var/log/messages.1:Apr 5 12:01:49 localhost kernel: Critical
temperature reached (114 C), shutting down. /var/log/messages.1:Apr
5 12:01:49 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (52 C),
shutting down. /var/log/messages.2:Apr 2 14:04:57 localhost
kernel: Critical temperature reached (119 C), shutting down.
/var/log/messages.2:Apr 2 14:04:58 localhost kernel: Critical

I'll repeat, there is something seriously sick in that box, either in
the monitoring, or in the cooling. Back to the vendor, carrying the
logs as evidence. Since it reports 114C and 52C in the same exact
second, followed by much later, a 119C and 24C only one second later,
I'd suspect the monitoring itself is broken.
Hi folks,
some how on my AMD PC I figured the same problem. I was able to check
for real values and found the monitoring wrong.
is that handled by lm-sensors?
Any ideas how to over come?
thanks
