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 completely off out of the blue at r= andom
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 ud= ev
events 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 in Windows after I spent all that time customizing my XFCE4 desktop.

Willy,
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Before you rebuild kernels etc, do you have a live CD, sysr= escue, Gentoo minimal install, any of the Myth live CD's, lying around?= Boot that and see if a "bog standard" configuration boots and di= splays the problem. If it gets up and is stable, then there is something in= your actual config. If you have sysrescue, sysresccd.org, if it boots and is stable, you can t= hen run a memory tester to see if anything manifests itself.

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Regards,
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Andrew



I tried to reinstall Gentoo twice, both made the com= puter lose power. I will be running the memory tester tonight when it is ti= me to go to sleep for the night.
