ACER notebook fan(s) speed check?

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

Hey peeps.

does anyone know of a utility that can run in windows than can give you info if the "vidcard" fan is spinning/rpm aswell as the cpu fan?

have got a customer that complains that laptop is doing a TOTAL poweroff at random - but that its always after being on for a while.

I've let him remove the battery and just run on direct power for some extra cooling - not helping much.

any ideas before i send it in?

Have you checked the power settings and the screen saver settings?

Ditto.

have you considered the possibility that the cpu fan and the gfx fan may in fact, be the same fan?

-no power profiles in use when on 220 power , all always on
-have opened the unit on a previous ocation to clean it and saw saw 1 fan for exhaust cpu and 1 for vid.
