When I try to do something computationally intensive (such as lame
encoding), my system shuts down. I think it's because a bad thermistor
is producing high readings. Even when the system is 100% idle, the CPU
temperature is 61°C according to lm_sensors. The "high" value is 80°C,
and I believe the system shuts down if the CPU utilization goes too
high, even if the real temperature is much lower.

- Bad PSU
- Bad mainboard (check capacitors)
