I vote for temperature issues too. That is my experience with some Aristo laptop - it get very hot very easily and powers off when temperature exceeds 85 C. You may try to run something like this while emerging: # while sleep 5 ; do cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature >> /tmp/temper ; done & and hope that part of that file will survive the poweroff - you will see whether temperature was raising before end. Or you may put something like: ... do cat /proc/acp..... | tee -a /tmp/temper ; done & in background in the session in which emerge runs and observe the temperature between compilation lines. The exact path to temperature file may differ, it will be something like /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature - and it will exist only if your kernel has necessary drivers compiled (or modules inserted). The /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperture file has about 30 bytes, 35 thousands of copies makes 1MB file, so you loop may run for 9 hours if storing one copy every second or 48 hours if appending one copy every 5 seconds.
