can somebody please help
 

hi,
I am on an Aspire 5315 and i have Backtrack 5,32bit,Gnome (ubuntu)installed with Vista as a dual boot on hdd.
I am currently having problem with my laptop overheating and shutting down. In Vista the software Epower controls the fan but in linux I have to install acer_fancontrol and I have installed it as per instructions. It works fine till i reboot and then i get a frozen screen with the BT5 background and in terminal i get 1gear and goes on till 3rdgear without me being able to use BT5.
Desperate noob here
