Unable to detect / control CPU fan

[Albert Coder]

Hi friends,

By all means I have been unable to ensure that my CPU fan works well
because it cannot be detected by /proc/cpuinfo, dmidecode, sensors,
various ACPI fan scripts etc. My laptop sometimes hangs and then shuts
down and then gets stuck at boot with black screen. But this happens
sometimes. I am of the view that my CPU fan does not function properly
and on detecting high temperature it shuts down. So far I have come to
the conclusion that there is lack of support from ACPI on my Acer
Aspire V5 571G. Another problem I face is my laptop gets stuck in
shutdown-reboot loop be it Kali Linux, be it Ubuntu. Any idea to get
around this folks?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.02 on Acer Aspire V5 571G.

I have followed millions of links like:
