The fan gets fast, really fast. Sounds like it's running faster than it can handle. This is using the halt command, during the message that say's, HALTED, PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. (not actual message) I am still looking in the source code hunting for this. I decided it was best to report now. I have not seen the loop, but adding sleep(1) in the halt loop, such as a while loop, I think that would make it easier on the cpu. However I do not know how it works, because I have not seen that source code. In Love in Jesus Christ, Or Lord and Savior. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only *begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. --John 3:16
