Thanks, Constantine To me, this looks like the bios set the fan speed to what is right at the moment, expecting linux to take over fan control. And then linux does nothing. Do you have the acpid package installed? It works for me, turning the fan on and off from now and then. The powersaved package might also be a good idea.

Strange, that option allows the cpu to reduce it's clock cycle do cater to demand. if the cpu is used less it will then use less power, and so reduce heat production, which in turn would slow the fan down.

In my BIOS the option is called Q-Fancontrol.

Re: Re: cpu overheating
Perhaps there is a BIOS option to enable/disable dynamic fan speed control. Sounds like it's enabled and not working too well. Disabling it shouldn't interfere with user/kernel software that tries to control it later. I entered bios settings and disabled the option 'AMD PowerNow Technology'. There wasn't any other fan-related option. That did the trick!!! Thanks Andy! Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hello, When i do a cold start, the cpu fan barely spins. The result is that in a few minutes the cpu overheats and the system automatically shuts down. When i immediately turn it on again, the system detects the cpu's high temperature and begins spinning at higher speeds for the rest of the time. In both cases, the cpu fan never icreases or decreases it's speed, it just continues spinning at a constant speed since the system's startup.
