Laptop overheating problem.

[Laszlo Antal]

Hi,

So my laptop was working just fine but after a whole day of usage
everything slowed down, my physical memory was 89% full, and the
openoffice did not want to start at all.As soon as it happend I knew
the problem is I did not hear the cooling fan.
After shutdown about a hour I turned back on and everything was
working again very fast.I hope I didn't brake anything!
Here are the spec about the laptop::
Toshiba Satellit A15-S157, 2.2ghz proc, 512mb ram.
I installed FreeBSD 4.10 on it, adn I use KDE desktop.

Is there any built in or third party program I can install to turn on
the cooling fan when is necessary??
Or do I need to make some change in my installation??

Thank you soo much for all the answers.

Laszlo
