Long story short:
System became completely unusable. Wound up trying to clean ssd and repartition, then load Windows and Linux again. Found that the crash--which occurred again with new software--is due to the computer, not the software. However, in the course of reformatting got message from gparted: "Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sr0." Option provided: ignore. In the course of things, I cleaned the entire ssd with gparted and repartitioned from scratch, including the entire drive. Still get message. Loaded Windows, loaded latest TW. Now do not have dual boot--Windows ignored. Possibly due to format problem? (Windows ran before installing Linux. Second problem, for now.) Obviously cannot live this way--system crashed again after about 6 hours running. Suspect overheating. 1. How can I measure cpu temperature and record it? Is there any other likely component that would cause the crash?
2. Anyone have a fix for the invalid partition table, short of replacing the drive? I would like to possibly suggest using "dd" -dubbed- data destroyer. You must be very careful and know the specific drive label e.g. /dev/sda you wish to clear/wipe fresh. The following utilities can help you determine
I think you can use the inxi utility to monitor your systems temperature also you can install sensors to get more specifics. Pass the following command "inxi -Fxz" and towards the bottom of the report you will see CPU temperature. Open up your case and carefully verify that fans are functioning also visually is not a bad idea either. this: "fdisk -l", "gparted". I am not certain of Windows based utilities. Then you could boot with a live-cd or rescue-cd and perform the following on the appropriate drive. You can, however, use dd to make it a whole lot more difficult for the bad guys to get at your old data. This command will spend some time writing millions and millions of zeros over every nook and cranny of the /dev/sda1 partition: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 Then perhaps you could install Windows followed by openSUSE TDE once again afterwards. May go smoother with a perfectly clear drive. --Regards
