laptop shut down

[Gary Jarrel]

I can't really tell you what the problem is, but I've had a similar
problem about a month or so ago. After trying to get the system
started in recovery mode and otherwise using various kernels installed
on my system nothing seemed to have worked. I've then used the live CD
to boot into the machine and tried to check some config files. Without
any changes to anything (just viewing config files) I've restarted
back into my normal installation, and it worked fine and hasn't
happened sisnce.

The other idea that someone suggested when we were discussing this
problem, was to disable temperature sensors in the BIOS, however I
didn't have that option on my laptop.

I think the only thing that I changed in the BIOS, was to enable CPU
fan for constant operation when the system runs on AC Power, however I
don't feel that this was the cause of the original critical
temperature problem.

Hope this is of some help.
