I've experienced problems with an AMD Duron processor overheating. Of course that was on my Windoze PC, so for a long time I was blaming Bill for the hang-ups - oops, sorry Bill - not your fault this time :) > I'm also looking for suggestions on what else I can do to debug this: > a) verify if its really the CPU overheating > if not, then what's causing the cpu to halt? > b) how to solve this problem. My vendor fitted a huge big heat sink with a fan right on the cpu, and I have not had a moment's trouble since. Patrick.
