Last night i posted message asking on help to aviod my system shutdown by it self. Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for no good reason.
I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM. 512 MB RAM 10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot) Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine ) D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB
Does your BIOS monitor the processor temp? Does it have a way to shutdown your system if your processor gets above a certain temp? This is what I suspect. This is independent of APM, and is actually a good thing because otherwise you may cook your processor. Make sure your processor fan(s?) turns smoothly, if it doesn't, it may be stopping and then your machine shuts down.
What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome.
Is this reproducable? If not, I suspect this was just coincidence.
What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it.
Are you saying this same machine, or another machine with the same parts?
I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 .
I just replaced a motherboard because both CPU fans had stopped, and the processor apparently blew at least 2 capacitors on the board. I should have had it shutdown if the temp reached a certain point.
I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but still occurs.
It is probably NOT ram then. I doubt it is the kernel either, otherwise many others would have experienced this problem. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 "We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God." --Dwight Lyman Moody
