Thread: Solving overheating problem using Ubuntu

-

hello friends,

due laptop, lenovo thinkpad edge 14", going repairs, decided dualboot ubuntu 11.10. reason repairs because of crackling audio in skype , internet. lenovo replaced motherboard, sound card , all. however, did not, usual, update drivers , windows (which baffles me because think they'd considering it's @ lenovo warehouse being fixed newest , best equipment...?).

turned on , noticed running bit louder , hotter usual. anyway, came instructions dl drivers , windows updates... eighty nine of them. , of course, voice in of mind predicted, continually overheated upon trying install them making windows impossible run. , used lenovo toolbox search hardware/software problems , said fine.

dualbooted ubuntu (thinking ubuntu isn't of memory hog , has no huge updates), installed skype, , hey look. no crackling. coincidence? figures. after challenges reinstalled windows thinking overheating software or something, fresh new windows, still overheated. conclusion hardware issue.

can please tell me how fix/diagnose using ubuntu? or find part making computer run marathon? since messed around , installed ubuntu, lenovo not take repairs because have caused (even though before).

if i'm in wrong thread, please feel free remove, figured since ubuntu works , can't on windows, can using diagnose it?

great. thank reading this.

welcome forums.

i'm little confused- computer started out windows, dual booted ubuntu, replaced windows alone? or still dual boot computer? , overheats in windows. overheat in ubuntu?

if suspect hardware, imo need @ hardware. open laptop. maybe lenovo little sloppy , left blocking fan. might able fasten cables make more room cooling.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
