Certainly worth investigating. PC systems today are usually designed with system managed fans and a hardware cut out at the point things go 'critical'. So it is in fact possible that a kernel change caused a problem which then shut the machine down as it hit the hardware thermal limit. Unlikely but possible. Running old and new kernels will verify that after checking the fans etc are in fact working properly. If this is the case it would be very nice to know ASAP and also to let Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> know that you have a case where a box overheats with one kernel and not another -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
