Comment 1 for bug 525756

It's February 23, 2010 at 10:26 am
I recently updated Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest updates. The overheating problems continues to persist. It seems that no amount of Updates will fix the problem. I'm unable to review Ubuntu 9.10 because of overheating then shut downs.

When I turn on computer and go to Bios, (fans work normally.)
When I turn on computer and go to Boot Manager, (fans work normally)

I then select which operating system to boot up.
When I select Ubuntu 9.10 or the external hard drive where Ubuntu 9.10 and the Grub is housed,
THE FANS TURN OFF AND STAY OFF FOR THE DURATION.
I ACTUALLY HEARD THE FAN TURN OFF.
WITH MY BARE HAND, I FEEL THE COMPUTER HEATING UP RIGHT WHERE THE TOUCH PAD IS!

This puzzles me because how was I able to install the Operating System Ubuntu 9.10 complete without the computer overheating and shutting down? Is this because the Operating System hadn't taken over yet?
This suggest to me that the problem is in the Source Code. Something in the Source Code for Ubunto 9.10 had to be completely overlooked or just plain left out. It could be that the order in which the information is lined up was altered when the change happened from 8.10 to 9.04 then the same problem was carried over to 9.10.

As I said before, at one point Ubuntu 9.10 did, in fact, work (fan forking) but something else was wrong: THE MOUSE PAD AND THE EXTERNAL MOUSE HAD A DELAYED REACTION. Also I was no longer able to flip the Cube with the wheel on the mouse.
I'm not sure what the pair of Keys were on the task bar, That is still a mystery.

(Ubuntu 8.10 is flawless and work without a glitch. The computer works normally. Fans work normally.) I'm able to review and learn about Linux. I enjoy working with Ubuntu 8.10. It responds quickly. It's easy to navigate. It's even user friendly. Seldom do I need to look up information to get 8.10 to do anything. Updates are easy. Useful software is only a click away and they are always the complete versions.

Windows Vista (As hard as it is to admit this) lol, is flawless and works without a glitch. (OF COURSE I HAD TO MAKE SOME MINOR CHANGES FOR THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR ME.

At this time, Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 are unstable, I cannot suggest anyone use these Operating Systems. If you take the chance, (DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK) (WARNING: MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, AS SOON AS 9.04 OR 9.10 OPERATING SYSTEM TAKE CONTROL, YOUR FANS WILL TURN OFF)

You only have about fifteen to twenty minutes before your computer overheats then shuts down. I suggest you only use Ubuntu 8.10 if you want a true representation of what Ubuntu can do and do it well.

There has been no fix for 9.04 or 9.10 which works (that I'm aware of). If the overheating happens one time, IMMEDIATELY DOWNGRADE TO UBUNTU 8.10. Keep it up to date and your PC should work fine.
