Hello,

my laptop often freeze after end 'current session'
or 'shutdown' operations. I'm using etch on an Acer Aspire 9100.

Difficult to give more details as nothing is displayed but computer
is still on (ie. fan is running..etc..) and I have to remove
alimentation (sector+battery) to switch it off.
Even more tricky as this freeze happens not allways but around 50%.

Thanks for any clue, or ways to grab more information (dedicated log
files ?) about what happens when related fonctions 'end current session /
shutdown' are called.

This may be heat related - I've had similar problems with a 1524WLMi (64
bit). It's been back to Acer twice but for the last few months has been
OK. Acer won't act on Linux symptoms, so I downloaded something called
HotPC or HotCPU (I'm not in windows to check) which stress tests your
processor. Might be worth eliminating hardware as the cause.

Regards

Clive

Clive,

indeed this might be a reason but so why to freeze under a 'end current
session' request ?
I would accept this pseudo-freeze during a shutdown as the fan might run few
seconds or minutes until the motherboard / CPU reach a cooler temperature to
avoid any damage.
Also this feature should not be related to any OS but only to BIOS / hardware
implementation as ideally the CPU should not run to allow efficient
refreshment and so should be documented by Acer as nice feature.
(note: I didn't check this into the Acer documenttaion but might worth a
look).

Note: I'll have a look at HotPC / HotCPU as you mentionned.

Bye,
Bruno
