Bug Description

If I let my MSI S260 in suspend state over night, when I resume it on the next day the cpu fan won't turn off. It's spinning at maximum speed all the time, despite the fact that cpu temperature is around 30C, which is 10C less than normally.

Hi Łukasz,

Googling around for "msi s260 fan" suggests that lots of people are experiencing loud fans and that a BIOS update from:

  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=607&kind=11

may be the solution. Does this work for you?

I have the latest BIOS and don't have the issue you mentioned. My problem was that after notebook resumed from long sleep [several hours] the cpu fan was turning off at all. Temperature wasn't even near 40C, which is the default for this machine, and fan was blowing at full speed without turning off.

I cannot provide any additional info, because at this moment if I let notebook sleep for a longer time, longer than few minutes that is, it won't wake up. :/

So at the moment, the non-stop fan doesn't actually occur, because it is not possible to unsuspend?

That's right. I'm trying to figure out what is causing this, because I
didn't do any updates and it stopped working. I suspect my X.org
configuration I messed with recently. I'll try to revert these changes
and come up with overall status.

Back to the original bug; is this perhaps 'totem' crashing when you unsuspend and then using 100% CPU?

No, I didn't use totem and system load normal [~0%]. I can't reproduce it any longer, today notebook woke up without this problem after I had left it for whole night.

Please close this bug. I'll reopen if it will happen again .
