Hello,
What type of motherboard, processor, and speed are you using?
Are you overclocking?
Can you run healthd?
We recently had a series of problems, that appeared to be with or
related to scp. Since scp is somewhat processor intense, the
microprocessor was getting warm, no hot.. Hot enough to shut down.
Prior the the shutdown, as the processor was heating up, the motherboard
would slow the system clock, in an attempt to keep the processor from
over-heating. This is a bios feature on the motherboard we use.
Our processor heat problem was caused by the heatsink that we use with
the OEM intel chips.. Our assembly department neglected to utilize
heat sink compound. The heatsink was milled to allow the "chip" of the
microprocessor to be inset. Unfortunately the milled area was not flat,
allowing for hotspots on the chip.
