I have an old laptop that shuts off randomly the fan starts making noises and then shuts off. I took it to a hardware shop they told me it is the fan I got a new fan and replaced it same issue. It is duo boot, win XP and Ubuntu. When i am in Ubuntu and it shuts off it displays a bunch of text and i cannot read it because it disappears to fast. In windows mode it doesn't show anything when it shuts off. So i was wondering is there some way i can record or extract that data that it displays when it shuts off in Ubuntu?
