Hi,
Unfortunately, thermal zones defined in your DSDT doesn't contain any trip points except critical, but the fan control requires at least one active trip point (_ACx) to be defined. Also, there are no fan devices (i.e. device with 'PNP0C0B' HID) defined. This means, that no fan and minimal thermal control is available on your system through the ACPI functionality.
Hmm - I guess I had the idea that my ACPI was broken, but in this case, the inadequacy of the ACPI means that the linux kernel had become dangerous for the hardware, in a way that Windows is not. Is there any way of making it less likely that problems in the ACPI will shut off the fan?
