Is the heat sink properly seated on the processor?
I removed a heatsink to clean the blanket of fluff the fan had forced
in, then replaced it but had not locked down all the catches properly.
It ran for a while then just shut down like the plug was pulled. Restart
immediately and it would shut

Have a look at the modules
in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq.
One of these are bound to expose control of your cpu's speed
over /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/. cpuspeed, powernowd,
cpufreqd, etc all pretty much do the same thing in this sys folder to

My first question would be: Does it just switch off or do you see some
sort of shutdown sequence?

It was working well for more than a month before the problem developed. I
tried reinstalling xubuntu from scratch, and it worked for about a week
before developing the problem again.

My money's on cooling if it just switches off.
That seems to be the widespread consensus, and it does just switch off.
The amount of time between being switched on and

Hi Adelle,
Could be just a dud power supply...
Also sometimes when bits heat up they expand and a connection is broken,
power stops, seen it before.
Also (might be a bit obvious but hey...) check that the power cable in
the power supply is in properly. Might be only just connecting. Try

P3s do have a fan on the CPU.
