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.
Can this be fixed by editing a configuration file or turning off the
broken thermistor?
Is the shutdown an orderly one, performed by Linux?
Or is it the BIOS, plainly shutting down the power?
It justs cuts out, as if the power were turned off.
In the latter case, there's not much you can do in Linux. If your BIOS
'high' is set to 80, and an faulty measure from the thermistor says your cpu
is hotter, it's going to be shut down.
The BIOS is set to *ignore* the CPU temperature.
