yeah, another good idea. unfortunately, that's a no go either. I'm running at a pretty steady 132 F/ 56 C right now with it climbing to about 140F, but no more when I'm pushing it. Also, it seems more common when I'm NOT working. Also, doesn't crop up when I leave some crunching job running overnight (like a big transcode job or something). I ran memtest all night with no problems at all. Also ran stesscpu for a while with no probs. I'm beginning to think, as i crawl through my memory, that it might be related to some acpi stuff I was fooling with. we'll see. These locks are particularly frustrating as they leave no trace in the logs. the logs just stop until they come up from the reboot. I've seen it happen while I'm working maybe two or three times... just lock right up and be totally gone. screen looks fine, nothing responds, no ssh, no response to keyboard (capslock/numlock frozen) etc. Sometimes even the restart button on the box won't work and I'll have to force a shutdown with the 4-second power button press. So I have no doubts that its locking up tight. This is part of why I think it might be related to that acpi stuff as it seems to happen a lot when I'm NOT working at it. perhaps the bios is trying to suspend something and it causes a problem? weee A
