I had the problem described above with 8.10 on my Latitude D630 with an nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 135M. The machine started running hot with the fan coming on loudly.
Upgrading the BIOS to A15 and downgrading the nVidia driver from 177 to 173 fixed the problem. The machine ran quiet and the temperature was very comfortable. Upgrading the BIOS only and keeping nVidia driver version 177 did not solve the issue for me as it looks like it did for some in the posts above. When the nVidia version 180 driver came as recommended I upgraded to this. Everything was still fine. But a few days ago, I fell for the temptation and upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. Now the problem with the machine running hot, and the fan running at high speed is back. Any ideas on what I could do except trying to downgrade ubuntu? -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on geforce 8400 makes fan spin all the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
