Some machines (IBM make some) have an automatic shutdown "feature" when a temperature sensor detects an internal temperature above a certain threshold. The sensor prevents any startup until the internal temperaure has dropped below the threshold - then shuts it off again if it gets too hot. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
