Do you have a setting somewhere that when a fan gets below a certain |
| 27 |
speed it shuts down thinking the fan has failed? I know on mine I have |
| 28 |
to turn that feature off, especially in the winter. Sometimes my fans |
| 29 |
only turn at a couple hundred rpms. The mobo sometimes thinks the fan |
| 30 |
has failed. It seems to vary by brand as to what it does when this |
| 31 |
happens but I suspect something in Linux not the BIOS itself. |

Since winders works, which is odd unto itself lol, then it has to be |
| 34 |
some setting in Linux. I wouldn't think it would be the kernel since it |
| 35 |
usually locks up instead of cutting off. Do you have lm-sensors |
| 36 |
installed? I think it has the ability to do this sort of thing. That |
| 37 |
would be IF this is causing the problem to begin with. ;-) |

I'm sure you will get lots of ideas on this one tho. There can be a lot |
| 40 |
of causes. |
