Summary0001334: Overtemp event does not trigger execution of system shutdown
DescriptionI set up two events to trigger on temperature of processor Core 0. One event was setup to cause a beep. The second event was setup to execute "shutdown -s -f -t 1". The temperature condition was set at ">=50" for both events.

The cooling system was then turned off to allow the temperature to rise and trigger the events. The temp readouts in SpeedFan 4.37 showed the temperature rising.

The first event (the beep) triggered and caused a beep. The expected behavior of the second event (to cause system shutdown) did not occur.

The "shutdown" command stated above was confirmed to work on the command line. The "shutdown" command was checked to be accessible in the path. The full path to the shutdown command was tried in SpeedFan but the event still did not trigger. The SpeedFan executable was confirmed to be running with under an Administrator account using the Windows task manager.

A third event was added to execute "cmd" on the ">=50" condition. This produced the expected behavior (a new command window popped up every N seconds).

The events were changed to Core#2, etc but did not fix the problem. See the attached screenshot showing the events as well as a readout of the temperature exceeding the condition.

Steps To ReproduceAdd the following events under SpeedFan 4.37 with Intel Q9550 Quad Core processor and a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard.

Evt1:
Core 0, temp, INTEL CORE, >=50, BEEP
for 1 times, allow every 1 sec

Evt2:
Core 0, temp, INTEL CORE, >=50, EXEC "shutdown -s -f -t 1"
for 1 times, allow every 10 sec

 In VISTA 64 I created E:\shutdown.bat file with the following:
%WINDIR%\system32\shutdown.exe /h

the event was set to execute E:\shutdown.bat

This works to hybernate on overheating so when I resume I can see what was running

Update: I changed the .bat file to %WINDIR%\system32\shutdown.exe /h >> E:\shutdown.log. and determined that hybernate was turned off (bug in VISTA disk cleanup). the fix is to run powercfg -h on.
