I wish I had prepared better. I think I'm out of warranty, too. Post-mortem: One of the K3919 M81 voltage regulators -- second one in the outer row, counting in from the edge -- *blew*. It's about 30% expanded, with high-temperature damage also in the motherboard around the regulator legs. My rig used a 65W TDP Athlon64 X2 4800+ with a huge Noctua NH-U12 heatsink, and three 120mm Noctua fans wired to a front panel controller with four thermal probes, in an Antec Sonata 500 case. The northbridge heatsink did get up to 58'C, but none of the other components *ever* exceeded 36'C. I also monitored my three HDD's temperatures using hddtemp; it was consistently about 1'C higher than the thermal probe mounted on the outside (as one might expect). Therefore, I'm confident this was not *thermal* damage, but a faulty component. This also ties in completely with the symptoms. The motherboard does have hardware protection, shutting down/restarting in case of a voltage problem. You should see if the motherboard voltages fluctuate when starting mplayer. (lm_sensors and some hardware monitor panel application should do.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
