Uhhh... if the fan is on full blast AND the machine overheats,
then this clearly broken HW or a broken design.

Now, it is a well known problem that some newer laptops don't
like the Linux acpi implementation and won't run their fan
at all... in those cases, often times you can revert back
to just apm and the fan will return.

Likewise, some newer laptops don't run the fan at all *without* ACPI
enabled.

Equally valid point. I guess you need to try both ways to
see what works. But that assumes the fan is not running
at all... and for some strange reason, the laptop is overheating
while the fan is running full blast.

When your cpu over heats it is a clear sign that you need to take your
computer to the PC shop to have them clean it out with an anti static
cleaner, o ryou can use you average house hold vacuum clean (not
recommended due to damage from possible electrostatic discharge).
As always you should use a grounding mat and a anti static wrist strap
when work inside a computer case, It is highly recommended that you do
not keep your computer chassis on the floor , due to dust (I.E> keep
thoes chassis on your desk and don't prohibit air from flowing through
the vents) Do not by any means lay a tower chassis on edge as this could
result in read errors from your cd dvd read/writer.

I agree with hawk.. Take it in for repair unless you are so inclined
take it apart and clean up the
system yourself.

I had a problem similiar to this. But the thermal circuit worked and
the unit would shut off.

What finally turned out to be the problem was that the 'grease'
between the CPU and heatsink had crystallized and was no longer
wicking the heat away from the CPU.

I got some new Artic Silver, cleaned the CPU and heatsink, applied the
Artic Silver 'grease', and the overheating went away.

Overheating happens for several reasons. The usual problem is clogged
air channels, the next is a fan that does not work properly, next is
overclocking, and sometimes what happened to me, crystallized CPU
grease.

i had a problem with my new install yesterday where i had closed the
laptop cover and was awakened several hours later by the computers fan
howling away. it seems the laptop did not go to sleep when i shut the lid
and it overheated. until i figure out the problem i will have to shut it
down completley and reboot when i need to use it again.

I used to get that problem with Windows all the time. I don't get it on
my CF-29 with Ubuntu. Not ever.
