I know it doesn't actually burn the cpu, but I'd rather not cook any |
| 2 |
components if I don't have to. From what I know of torture tests, they run |
| 3 |
the cpu so hot it starts making computational errors, am I right? It still |
| 4 |
makes me nervous. I was hoping to be able to fix the issue just by |
| 5 |
recompiling my kernel, but no such luck. I'll mess with it some more and see |
| 6 |
what I can do. Can you give me any advice as to what I should to to a) not |
| 7 |
violate my warrantee and b) avoid killing my computer as much as possible? |
| 8 |
Could it just be something with my Gentoo install? I guess that's a stupid |
| 9 |
question; I've had this problem on an older computer, but it was a Desktop |
| 10 |
and it was much easier to swap components without messing up my warrantee. |
| 11 |
So if it were a hardware problem, wouldn't you think that suse 10.2 would |
| 12 |
have run into it as well? I used to run 10.2 (used to as in 3 days ago) for |
| 13 |
hours on end without any problems at all. I agree that Gentoo can run the |
| 14 |
computer harder, but that doesn't quite click. |
