I had shutdown problem and it was too hot CPU. System was unable to run longer than to the login screen, and than it will shut down. Though, under the different conditions it will probably run longer until some CPU intensive operation will be started and than shut down anyway.
Shibu should be able to go to the BIOS and check temperature. Boot in a normal way (no safe settings) wait or do some CPU intensive operation and straight after spontaneous shutdown go direct in BIOS menu with temperature monitor and see what temperature is.
Temperature close to upper limit (1 or 2 C) would mean that hadware problem can't be ruled out.
I'm of the opinion that CPU temperature sensors vary widely in their accuracy. IOW, some will report too hot when in fact temp is well within tolerance, while on the other extreme, they can read so low that the CPU can be damaged from excess heat without warning. This sounds like a possible case of the former, where the max tolerance setting in the BIOS needs to be higher to properly reflect actual CPU operation. The result if this is true is that the OS sensor software sees the limit hit prematurely, and shuts the system down needlessly. This is easily fixed by upping the BIOS limit by 5C or 10C. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
