So I confirm that temp1 is the case temperature and temp2 is the CPU temperature. No surprise. Both are thermistor-based. Things to try: 1* Cycle the w83781d driver (as root): $ rmmod w83781d $ modprobe w83781d And see if temp2 changes. 2* Try to pass init=0 to the w83781d module: In the file /etc/modprobe.conf, add the following line: options w83781d init=0 I just hope that this file is not generated from other files on your system. If it is, you'll have to find out which files this one is generated from, and edit one of them instead. Then reboot your computer and see if it helps. I can't remember a similar report so far (by my memory is rather weak). -- Jean "Khali" Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
