Hello all, there is a weired thing happening. Maybe it is by chance, but maybe it is a bug.
As my TV is dead, since 4 weeks I am looking television with my notebook. The application for dvb-t I am using is me-tv. Now it happens, that 14 days ago my first notebook suddenly switched off, but could be started again after some minutes. This happened during the last week 3 times, but now the mainboard is dead. Now, the same thing happens to my netbook. Watching tv with me-tv, then suddenly it switches off. this happened now two times. Obviously the cpu is getting too hot. However, several years ago I had a similar problem by a broken cooling fan. The machine went too hot and switched off. But there is a difference: The years ago I could see in the logs (syslog, kern.log), that the cpu went too hot. Today there are no entries. This is strange and I think, me-tv might suppress things. My notebooks were running on 100 cpu power for hours in the past (for example by building a kernel) but never switched off. Just when running me-tv. IMO me-tv is using full power of cpu and gpu. But that should not overheat the computer. When I force the cpu to powersave, the notebooks never switched off. Maybe I see ghosts, but I think it worth to be mentioned. Maybe someone else, who might using me-tv, and got into the same problem or notices strange things, can confirm or deny this. And maybe there is a bug in me-tv, which kills mainboards, then it might be dicovered before others are hit by this. Just wanted to mention it. Thanks for reading this. Best regards Hans
