If I really think about what the probable trigger was, we are undergoing August in Texas, and we have had our hottest days they past 3 days. Sunday was 105 w/heat indexes close to 115. During the weekend the A/C raises to 85 degrees, and the server closet with its vent probably gets to 90. That little bit of added heat load/stress probably caused whatever weak component died -- to die.
What? No thermal shut-down? I had an otherwise nice Compaq laptop that had insufficient fan/cooling. On my lap while sitting on the patio one summer if felt it overheating ... on my lap. Indoors, on a angle with an auxiliary cooling pad it managed OK, but in warm weather without the cooling pad it managed to fry a couple of battery packs. I had set the thermal shut-down to 90 degrees. Perhaps it should have been less, but then, perhaps, I'd never get any work done. Even so, after one shut-down the screen had a !FAIL!, so something got stressed beyond tollerance. Obviously not MIL-SPEC rated components. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
