Just a shot:
Take a look, if you have the packaget "fancontrol" installed.
Then as root start the command "fancontrol" and see, if the vents are
recognized. Normally they should stop, then start again. Just follow the
instructions.
This command is creating the file /etc/fancontrol, which you can later fine
tune (i.e. tell, at which temperature the fans will start).
On Asus laptops (especiially older laptops like eepc), I had to decide, which
kernel module shoulds be used. One is "wmi" (the other one I forgot the neame
of (too long ago!). Modern kernels are using wmi, but maybe your cpu does not
support it and needs the older one (maybe someone else knows more).
There are kernel options, which decide, which module is used. However, this is
mostly on my EEEPC, but maybe other older laptops may alos depend on it.
Just some ideas, hope this is helping though....
