Mine has done it both on a 2.4 and 2.6 kernel, but only once each. One thing
I haven't tried yet, but have been thinking about, is to see what happens if
I increase the usage of the CPU, thereby increasing the temperature, and see
if it gets turned offat the proper temperature. However I don't know when it
might happen again, and I am not really worried at this stage.
