Hi @horvjoe ,
Did you tried the following…
Step 1: Install other LTS kernels
Install kernel 5.15 and 6.1 — these may support your laptop better:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515 linux61
After installing, reboot your system and try booting with one of the new kernels.
Step 2: Check if the ASUS fan control module is loaded
After booting, check if the asus_nb_wmi kernel module (used for ASUS-specific ACPI features like fan control) is active:
lsmod | grep asus
If you see something like asus_nb_wmi, it means the module is loaded.
Step 3: Load the module manually (if needed)
If asus_nb_wmi is not listed, try loading it manually:
sudo modprobe asus_nb_wmi
You can then verify again with:
lsmod | grep asus
Step 4: Check system logs for ASUS hardware messages
After loading the module, it’s helpful to check kernel messages:
dmesg | grep asus
This can show you if the module initialized properly or if there are errors.
