Hello,
I have installed Fedora 29 on Lenovo W540. The laptop overheats up
soon
after booting.
You should make sure there isn't an accumulation of dust preventing
proper cooling. At
my work there were a bunch of Lenovo's that would overheat and crash.
A good blast of
canned air in the vents would release a cloud of dust and restore
proper operation. This
had to be done every few months (typical cubicle farm environment).
Initially, I suspected hardware issues like the one you mention. In
fact, I sent the device to Lenovo service center for the same issue. The
Lenovo folks inspected the hardware and found no issues with fan,
cooling, etc. Also, the same device doesn't have the overheating issue
on Windows and Ubuntu. It is something specific to Fedora.
