What kind of hardware? IBM/Lenovo? Does it occur under high load or really "at random X"? Is it a notebook? Are you using it inside a docking station? Take a closer look at /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature and in case it's IBM/Lenovo hardware check out the module thinkpad_acpi and files like /proc/acpi/ibm/fan. If your system shuts down check out the temperature information available within BIOS. -mika- -- ,'"`. http://michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -» Linux Live-CD for texttool-users and sysadmins `._,' http://grml.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
