I saw something similar (don't remember the exact temperature, but improbably high) on a system. Postmortem suggests that the BIOS PROM failed and the temperature value went to all 1s. I would guess that something connected with the temperature sensor is failing intermittently. Short term is to turn off the shutdown on temperature alert behavior of ACPI and/or the kernel. Long term, get the sensor fixed/replaced. HTH, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
