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?

I'd been having a similar problem over a few weeks on my Mandrake box, I knew it wasn't power supply or motherboard as it happened with other ones in the box. yesterday when I was working on the box, it suddenly powered off, dead, but the power LED was on - as usual. Hit the power off button, then powered on again. Looking around the BIOS I noticed the CPU temperature was up at 44 Degs. C, went out and bought a new heatsink/fan, it's been up 34 hours now, the first time in weeks it's gone past 5 hours. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
