I have been getting random shutdowns on my eMachines M2350 laptop at least since feisty where the *apparent* temperature suddenly goes from <50C to >150C. I seriously doubt it's getting anywhere near that hot. The hard drive temperature is around 38C. I updated to the latest 8.10 stable (2.6.27-7-generic) hoping for a fix, but no luck:
Nov 5 23:30:54 etaoin acpid: client has disconnected
Nov 5 23:30:54 etaoin kernel: [23971.024121] ACPI: Critical trip point
Nov 5 23:30:54 etaoin kernel: [23971.024156] Critical temperature reached (159 C), shutting down.
My /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points says:
critical (S5): 100 C
passive: 98 C: tc1=0 tc2=1 tsp=150 devices=CPU0

echo no longer works to change the trip points, which is noted in <a href="http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?p=5135405& highlight= trip_points& page=2">this thread</a>. I can't find what the new way to do it is.
