Installed Garuda on a Sony Vaio and occasionally the fan will get out of control and system locks up.
Looking into how to control the fans I looked to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fan_speed_control
But when I get to pwmconfig it says: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
So it seems that's not a solution.
My thought then is to look into what is actually the cause of the system thinking it's overheating. Hoping someone might have some suggestions. Normally I'll keep tabs on what top is showing. But I never really see it go over 1.x load average. Looking through journalctl has also not been very helpful.
Thanks for any suggestions.
