Bug Description
Yesterday I came back to my PC having left it on its own for a few days only to find the BIOS temperature warning alarm going off as soon as I touched the mouse. I rebooted, went into BIOS and saw that CPU temperature was ~ 74-75 degrees Celcius and CPU fan RPM was 0. Overall system temperature was around 30 degrees C.
I have set the motherboard BIOS to sound an alarm when the CPU hits 70 degrees, and I have set all cooling controls to 'auto' but should I be worried that the fan wasn't running?
Does Ubuntu have some sort of fan control built in (that possibly wasn't running here?)
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, my processor an Intel dual core.
Other system information (dmesg etc) can be found in Bug #97325 (unrelated to this problem, but I have attached it all there)
The question about Ubuntu fan control doesn't seem to be bug report, but the behavior of the CPU is cause for concern. Could this be a product of the PC being left on for a few days.
It would help to know which version of Ubuntu if being affected as well.
Can anyone confirm?
