Having problems like this in Linux is unacceptable. That could have
caused major damage. Things like this need to be worked out. Linux
needs to focus more on the here and now and not keep pushing for the
newest technology.

Don't get me wrong I think Linux is a gem. I like the GPL but I don't
like how company's can use people's software and make profit. The
people that make the software should be getting paid if anyone is
getting paid.

Once again, things like this are unacceptable. I am afraid to use
Fedora 6 now. I alos, have am having problems after a clean
installation.

Have you considered that maybe your CPU was realy over heating and
Linux didn't have much to do with it?

Similiar happened to me recently, post a kernel upgrade. I thought it
was the new kernel, turned out that the CPU was over heating. I
cleaned up the dust and put in a new CPU fan with new thermal gel. Now
I'm running cooler than before.

Recently installed FC6 on an old P-III 500MHz. At first, it would reliably do thermal shutdowns during the dependency resolution step. Also did shutdowns during memtest86.

I swapped the CPU package from one of the two slots to the other (tried to get airflow across the package back and probably shook out some dust) and it's been fine ever since.
