auto-shutdown why?

[nick.stumpos]

i Just updated my satellite A75-s229 to fc4 every since then when i leave my computer on, after about 3 or 4 hours it shuts off. judging by /var/log/messages it looks like the cpu is overheating
Jul 26 01:10:49 localhost kernel: CPU1: Temperature above threshold
Jul 26 01:10:49 localhost kernel: CPU1: Running in modulated clock mode
Jul 26 01:10:49 localhost kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode
Jul 26 01:10:55 localhost kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold
Jul 26 01:10:55 localhost kernel: CPU1: Temperature above threshold
Jul 26 01:10:55 localhost kernel: CPU1: Running in modulated clock mode
Jul 26 01:10:55 localhost kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode
Jul 26 01:11:00 localhost kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold
Jul 26 01:11:00 localhost kernel: CPU1: Temperature above threshold
Jul 26 01:11:00 localhost kernel: CPU1: Running in modulated clock mode
Jul 26 01:11:00 localhost kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode
However the computer always feels quite cool. It also never had a problem with overheating in XP or FC3.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
thanks in advance

The above happens even with a non smp kernel?

[nick.stumpos]

yeah it still shutdown with the non smp i dont have the log from that though ill let it run on that kernel later and see if i cant get the log in a couple a hours

[nick.stumpos]

just to update for people i compiled my own vanilla kernel and never had a problem so it must have been something preconfigured in the fedora kernel

Or something in the hardware that is triggered by the Fedora configuration. Do file a bug report in bugzilla.redhat.com if you are using the latest kernel

Hi Nickisgod1,

(I'm a newbie) I have the exactly the same problem here. Did you find a solution yet?

in your BIOS there's a setting to shut down the computer when the temperatures reach a certain point... FC4 seems to be the first Fedora distro that respects that setting...

if you think you're temps are allright, just disable that bios setting

Yea, those are disabled in my bios, and I get this error. I think its the module P4Thermal in the kernel that makes it. I have a HT P4 cpu (prescott), seems common error, and modulated clock mode actually decreases your performance, so i gotta get this fixed.

anyone?
