I ran into this with a family member recently, the CPU was running hot and the mobo was cutting the CPU off. The only way to get it back up again was to reboot. She kept doing this though, thinking it was windoze, until the CPU burned out. If you are using Gentoo and it does this during a compile, check the CPU heatsink for dust and make sure the fan is spinning as it should. May also want to check those temps if you can. Most newer mobos have that. It could also be something else getting hot, drive, memory, one of the chips on the mobo, northbridge comes to mind. Don't wait until something burns out to find out what it is. :\ Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
