https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404245 Summary: Acer laptop poweroffs intermintently after overheating Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: daugirdas@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Dear all, The problem was introduced in openSUSE 10.3 as a bugfix to one of the system files (probably kernel). The Original openSUSE 10.3 installation and all the previous 10.x versions ran perfectly fine, so does winxp 64 bit. To be honest I had the same issue with ubuntu ( [Bug 22336] ) and therefore switched to your product. My laptop is the notorious Acer Aspire 1522 WLMi, with AMD Athlon K8 3000+ processor and Nvidia geforce go5700 graphics card. I am sorry I haven't reported this before, as I had just a several crashes every now and then, but with 11.0 I ran into much more trouble. I presume there are some background processes which use much more CPU power? So today I just had facebook on FF on was on skype on KDE3 and it shut down just in 10 minutes. Yesterday it crashed when I had digikam on, and on the other occasion I just barely started gnome. Now it makes it unusable for me therefore it is major bug. My CPU policy is set on demand. "watch acpi -V" shows a massive hike in temperatures, which go uncontrolled up to 80C and there it goes. The setup was the only place where I used to have this problem before, went smoothly this time. [Bug 227360] If you need some technical information, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it for you. P.S. Well done with finally fixing the package management!
