I agree. One of my systems NEEDS acpid configured and running else the |
| 34 |
processor would just thermal shutdown on me (freezing before it, |
| 35 |
sometimes). I would just try and emerge cpufreq stuff and down the |
| 36 |
frequency (that, of course, if memtest exclude your ram). I say that |
| 37 |
because a well configured system will throttle the CPU before |
| 38 |
overheat, and cpuburn should run on the newly installed Gentoo to be |
| 39 |
sure. |
