1 Hi group,
2
3 Trying to set up vmware, unfortunately the PC dies
4 suddenly after booting WinXP. XP boots OK but anywhere
5 between a couple of seconds to about 5 mins afterwards
6 without any warning the PC simply shuts itself off.
7 And when it reboots it doesn't complain about a sudden
8 shutdown, just churns merrily along for a few moments
9 then, clunk, the PC stops cold.

11 This is a fresh install of XP SP1 with nothing added
12 except for the (native)9250 ATI drivers. It hasn't
13 even been on line yet, so it's not a virus.
14
15 It's on sda1, which was freshly formatted NTFS; the
16 rest of the drive is given over to gentoo which works
17 fine.
18
19 Be interested to hear from anyone else this has ever
20 happened to.
