Hey Everyone,

I have been dealing with this problem for awhile now. It seems that whenever I am in Linux my computer will just turn off. Not shutdown like I did "shutdown -r now". Just comp= letely off out of the blue at random times. I have been reading the logs but there is nothing helpful at all. It is never the same thing on the logs when it does just shutdown. Sometime I can boot up and it will go off when it says "Waiting for udev even= ts to finish" or something like that.

I haven't done any major upgrades in awhile, there is really nothing different. I installed Windows last night to see if it is a hardware thing but nope it stays on. I also tried reinstalling Gentoo on a couple of occasions on another Hard Drive but it just shutdown while I was getting it done.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I really don't want to be i= n Windows after I spent all that time customizing my XFCE4 desktop.

Do you have a setting somewhere that when a fan gets below a certain speed it shuts down thinking the fan has failed?=A0 I know on mine I have to turn that feature off, especially in the winter.=A0 Sometimes my fans only turn at a couple hundred rpms.=A0 The mobo sometimes thinks the fan has failed.=A0 It seems to vary by brand as to what it does when this happens but I suspect something in Linux not the BIOS itself.=A0

Since winders works, which is odd unto itself lol, then it has to be some setting in Linux.=A0 I wouldn't think it would be the kernel since it usually locks up instead of cutting off.=A0 Do you have lm-sensors installed?=A0 I think it has the ability to do this sort of thing.=A0 That would be IF this is causing the problem to begin with.= =A0 ;-)=A0

I'm sure you will get lots of ideas on this one tho.=A0 There can b= e a lot of causes.
