If your other safeguards failed to kick in, either your system is too heavily loaded to shutdown or the temperature has risen extremely quickly. Either way, cutting the power is the remaining option. --=20 Neil Bothwick Programming Language: (n.) a shorthand way of describing a series of bugs to a computer or a programmer. --Sig_/8jlhWC5pYhs.9rYQOe1y.sC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknFfKUACgkQum4al0N1GQPzTQCfU9EZKFEJ9BTk8fbhgPTpCJhd KfcAoKK24o2kU5M3M4wk/mxdyoWzh49W =MllC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/8jlhWC5pYhs.9rYQOe1y.sC--
