Let me start out by pointing out the fact the I'm new to FreeBSD (coming from Debian and OpenSUSE), please forgive my ignorance. I installed FreeBSD 9.0-rc2 a few weeks back as a test platform and, after having messed with CPU scaling, have been running into some overheating problems.
This is on a Compaq Presario V2000 (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...foCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=1816342). The laptop kept freezing up on me after a few minutes of use and I noticed it was getting very hot. I started monitoring the cpufreq and temperature with:
And noticed dev.cpu.0.freq stayed at 100 (reaches 1600 if something is going on, but returns back to 100 when it is done), but the temperature slowly rose until the point where computer froze. The fan did not come on at any time.
I really do not think I did anything that would cause this when I messed the CPU scaling. On top of that, I do not know FreeBSD enough to even try to figure out what's going on. Can any shed some light? I've searched google and this forum but nothing relevant comes up for overheating.
Thanks
