How to get rid of the thermal shutdown message

[noident]

Hi there,

Every time I boot my new hp pavilion dv6 I get a message saying "thermal shutdown occurred ... blah blah ... things are OK now you can use the system".

Is there a way to get rid of this extremely annoying message?

Needless to say that I do not experience any real thermal shutdowns.

Kindly update the BIOS of your Notebook. 

If you want me to post direct link for exact BIOS of your Notebook, Could you please post complete product/model number of your Notebook? You can use link below to find this info

Hi kamat_hp,

Thank you for your reply.

I couldn't find any links to BIOS downloads.

My laptop is:

"HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC"

Product Number: LK384PA#ABG

I'd appreciate if you could post a link to BIOS download.

The latest BIOS is available here

After the update is done, let us know if issue persists

Hi kamat_hp,

Thanks for your help.

I've updated the BIOS but it didn't solve the problem.

I dual-boot between Win7 and Linux and it looks like the message occurs only when the laptop was shut down in Linux.

It's as if the bios has a very tight integration with Windows; like Windows has to tell it something every time it shuts down...

Hi, noident, I also dual-boot Windows 7 and Linux, and I have exactly the same problem as you, my laptop is an HP Pavilion g4-1016tx. Updating the BIOS didn't solve the problem.

I reported a bug to the Red Hat Bugzilla:

Thanks, whoc.

Hopefully they'll fix it one day.

I have the same problem on my HP Pavilion G4-1025TX. I found the default setup - Windows 7 with so much bloatware -  unbearable, so I removed all partitions, and installed Linux. Now I get the thermal shutdown error. Any help to remove this would be much appreciated.

Remove Linux and install Windows.

Hello

I get the message "thermal shutdown occurred" and experience thermal shutdowns.

Laptop is overheating for no explained reason and then shutting down.

Battery life is poor - less than 1 hour.

Laptop 6 months old circa.

Hopefully this can be fixed under warranty - can't remember if warrnty came as standard.
