Random shutdown
« on: June 07, 2012, 09:29:10 AM »
Just installed PCLOS 2012, and once in awhile, it will shut down when doing a search on Google. It has happened 4 times so far this week. Specs are: MSI 760GM-P23 mobo, AMD FX  Octa core processor, 8 gig DDR3, Samsung 128 gig SSD, Seagate 500 gig HD, Nvidia 210, 1 gig video board. Have Win7, 64 bit, Mint 12, 64 bit, on the SSD, and PCLOS 2012 on the Seagate. Any suggestions?

that machine can use a64 and bfs.pae kernels

which one of those is using?

in konsole uname -r to know the kernel in use

about the video card, what driver is using? 295?

the random shutdowns happen on  the other os too?

It wouldn't hurt to check your hardware.  When I had a similar problem, it turned out that two fans needed replacing.
