I have a PC which overheats and shuts down without warning.
I installed lm-controls and fancontrol.
I ran sensors detect and said yes to all questions. I typed

sudo service kmod start

When I try pwmconfig, I get

There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

When I typed sensors, I saw the CPU was already over 80 Celsius. So I turned it off.

sensors: 
coretemp-isa-0000 
Adapter:ISA adapter 
Core 0:   + 84.0°C (high = +80.0C, crit = +90.0C) 
Core 1:   + 82.0°C (high = +80.0C, crit = +90.0C)

After this, I got lost. I found instructions about how to configure the PC so that such a temperature triggers such and such an action, but this is not really what I want: too complicated.

I would like a way to set up all fans at maximum speed, and I don't mind having to type this command each time I turn on this machine. Never mind the temperature, turn them on at full speed from the moment the PC starts working, then maybe it will stay on a little longer...

For the moment, it crashes after half an hour, or one hour, depending upon what I'm doing.

To manage do-release-upgrade, I had to bring the pc outside when the temperature was around zero. What shall I do during summer?
