Wary Puppy CD now refusing to boot (Solved - fan blocked)
Posted: Fri 04 Jan 2013, 07:59
Hi, complete linux learner here with a first post. I have looked at previous posts and used the search but can find nothing similar to this question.
We've been playing with latest wary_puppy via a cd we made from a download for a week or so and this has been good ie it all seems to work well on our aged pc .
The first time we used a clean cd on our laptop, everything worked fine. However, now, when we come to try to run the cd on the laptop the machine shuts down at boot up and just after saying "Loading Kernel Modules" then "done" with a message from Wary_Puppy saying "critical temperature reached so shutting down" and each time this has happened a different temperature has been shown ranging from 80degC to 102degC.
The laptop specs are:
Acer Aspire 1522WLMi about 7 years old
X86 based
AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5700 64MB
2 GB RAM
XP Home edition fully up to-date
CDs being used are Sony cd -rw 700mb x10
The laptop plays ordinary cds/dvds just fine but we are wondering if, for whatever reason, the dvd/cd drive in the laptop doesnt like wary_puppy (x4 different new/clean burns have been tried).
Any thoughts or advice would be great but please, do keep any language simple - our learning curve is steep!
thanks David
