I suggest that you download Coretemp and monitor your CPU temp for a while http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ If it is over 60 deg, then it is starting to toast. you might want to investigate the cause. may be there is too much dust near the fan.
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yuki Taga Sent: Saturday, 24 May 2008 11:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] OT: computer meltdown? I built this box five years ago, so I suppose problems would only be natural at some point. 1) Spontaneous reboot last night -- out of the blue. Log says disk error. 2) Board seems to be running hotter, but within range. CPU temp normal. 3) Box seemed to run normally this morning (after the spontaneous reboot), but again rebooted itself about 10 am. 4) No errors in log this time. 5) On the reboot, system could not autodetect primary channel at first. I shut down and then after a few minutes it detected and reboot was okay. But obviously, something is not okay. Fans seem to be working. I'm writing this on the box, so the box is not totally toast just yet. Suggestions for troubleshooting? (Redundantly backed up, so no problems if worst comes to worst -- just annoyances.) Yuki
