Bug#696554: System freezes and lockups

[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Hi,

I wonder, if these errors only appear after some time - and if you've
had problems with the non-free driver too -  maybe it has to do with the
buildup of heat?

Are you able to check temperature sensors on the card?

I don't know how to do that for your particular model, but on my card
(NV92 / 8800 GT) I can do it like this (as root) :

# apt-get install lm-sensors
# modprobe adt7473
# modprobe adt7475
# sensors
adt7473-i2c-4-2e
Adapter: nouveau-0000:18:00.0-2
in1:          +3.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +2.99 V)
+3.3V:        +3.34 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.39 V)
fan1:        2277 RPM  (min = 2000 RPM)
fan2:           0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan3:           0 RPM  (min =  164 RPM)  ALARM
temp1:        +52.5°C  (low  = +20.0°C, high = +68.0°C)
                       (crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +98.0°C)
Board Temp:   +48.0°C  (low  = +20.0°C, high = +60.0°C)
                       (crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +96.0°C)
temp3:        +52.5°C  (low  = +20.0°C, high = +68.0°C)
                       (crit = +136.0°C, hyst = +132.0°C)
