Hello! My laptop (toshiba satellite l770-116, Intel HM65 mainboard) shuts down frequently when I run CPU intensive tasks. I guess (but I could not find out for sure) that the temp1_crit setting of for the acpitz-virtual-0 device may be the culprit. It seems to me that a pretty low value of 84°C is set here. This is the same value I see when I do acpi -V (cf. output below). I noticed that sometimes (I haven't found out under which circumstances) this value is set at 99°C, which seems more reasonable to me as it corrensponds more closely to the value shown for the physical devices (100°C), and allows for reasonable usage of the laptop. I tried adding these values: chip "acpitz-virtual-0" set temp1_crit 99.0 To /etc/sensors.d/coretemp, but when doing sensor -s, I get: Error: File /etc/sensors.d/coretemp, line 3: Failed to set value acpitz-virtual-0: At least one "set" statement failed So, how can I adjust the temp_crit1 value of the acpitz-virtual-0 device?
