Crashing happens at random... well, haven't sit back watching the box till it dies/powers off... Anyway, the last crash happened to me yesterday while working and listening to some streams using amaroK. I tried the streams again but they are not the cause, as I listen to streams most of the time...
Is it overheating and the CPU shuts down (but, of course, the fan keeps going to cool it)?
As an addendum to my other post about the power supply going bad.... one other symptom was that occasionally when bringing up the system after a hang or a power off, the BIOS would say there was a "thermal event" which would indicate a temp problem. I finally put a one minute cron job on the machine to log the current temp using 'sensors' and could not see any such temp problem. It was all a problem with the power supply. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
