If you run acpi, you can check temperature and fan speeds etc. It sounds like your Bios may be warning you of over heating or something. If you're running software or hardware raid it may also be a symptom of a bad/degraded RAID system. Basically, do a full system check. -- Peter Larsen <plarsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
