Re: How can Linux demage a motherboard?

Hi,

What you are saying is correct, almost, just one little but could be
significant issue.

The first mage was installed on this, Opteron based machine, the second was
installed on Dueal Xeon based machine ans brought over to the Opteron...

I also appreciate your suggestion, but I already tryed everything on this
line, I was twice in the bios looking at the temperature when the system
suddenly wund up and shut down a few seconds later.

All temperatures were stable and in the middle between high and low.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to shut down or disable the temperatur
monitoring....

I will do a few more tests and get back,

Thanks anyway,

Tom

I have restarted the server and this time the server only run for about
10-15 seconds with increasing fan speed and shut down again.

Just to recap. Let me know if I'm missing something.

- These machines ran without issues for hours using the first Linux image.
- Because of configuration issues with the first image, a second Linux
image
was installed. The PC's shut down quickly after this image was installed
and
started.
- Now the PC's will shut down after only a few seconds, regardless of what
image is installed. The PC's will even shut down automatically even if no
drive is attached, or you are in the BIOS setup.

IF you can get into the BIOS setup, try and disable the "shutdown at this
temp" settings and "fan detection" settings. Use the PC Health page to
monitor the temps and fan speeds that the PC is seeing.
