My Ubuntu laptop fan spins at random moments
My laptop originally came with windows 8.1 but after a year I started dual booting Ubuntu Mate. Everything was fine back then.
One day I started playing heavy end games on my laptop that started the continues fan spinning which totally made sense. But after that I noticed that the fan never stopped spinning until I disabled "Fan always on" in bios which fixed the problem for ubuntu.
But this also seemed to be a temporary fix. So I went to a store to get my laptop cleaned and along with it I added another ram stick to my laptop.
So I have a 4 GB ram that came by default and an 8 GB ram stick that I inserted.
After this incident, whenever I use Ubuntu my fan spins violently at random moments and then stops suddenly. I tried to look for solution on the internet but none seemed to work.
Here is the output of sensors command:
coretemp-isa-0000

Package id 0: +44.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

Try this utility https://github.com/ichiriac/ubuntu-smart-fan, it's based on lm-sensors and it will manage the fan speed with a custom threshold.
At start you can run it as a monitor in order to seed the fan behavior.
After calibrating the temperature and thresholds you will be able to run it as a daemon on your laptop
