Is the cpu shutting down because of overheating? If not, which kernel can you use without problem? Then compare the boot up parameters - between the working and non-working kernels. Sometimes a kernel may fail to load a module. Often you'll find that some kernels will work better with your system than others. --------gary -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
