This is weird and part of the ongoing power-down problem. It goes two weeks continuously. Then this morning as I send an email, down it goes.
On-off switch has no effect. Change the leads, still no effect. Leave it for a half hour, come back and it starts perfectly.
This has to be some sort of heat reset, doesn't it? But the thing I cannot understand is why it should just suddenly happen. gkrell shows cpu temps of 35. The bios at startup showed a bit over 40.
I did have a resistor from quiet pc to slow down main fan speed, which has been fine for a couple of years now, but on the offchance I removed that. However, given the latest crash it cannot really be that.
Looks like there is an i5 in the future of this case, which is a pain and not cheap either - by the time we get new board, new processor, and a proper shuriken cooler....
Can you think of anything else to try?
