I have a little Shuttle PC with an AMD Athlon64, and it wouldn't shutdown on its own, but if I turned it off it would not come back on for at least 6 hours. I had the bios controlling the fan speed, (the Shuttle PC uses a heat pipe) set to automatic depending on CPU temp. The problem was the fan never went higher than low speed. The CPU temp was never reported being "hot". I set the fan to be high all the time and have not had a problem since. I would guess that the temperature is much higher than whats actually being reported, or that AMD Athlon chips are not really suited for the temps listed in their specs. R.

Hi,
I've recently experience mysterious shutdown on my AMD64 system. Just now, after the computer had been on, playing music (the only thing being done on it), it suddenly shut itself off. I have to "unplug and replug" the powersupply to have the computer start again.
Is it possible, that some "hardware" in the system is causing this, the memory in the computer are two brand new ... two kingston 512Mb modules, the hard disk is also new, a SATA one. The CPU was bough earlier this year, the system being run is SuSE 9.2, with the latest upgrades from apt4rpm (gwdg.de).
Personally, I'm thinking "powersupply" ... has anyone run into this behaviour?
