I have some problems sinc FC3test2. With every kernel since test2 sometimes laptop plugged to AC outlet or battery supplied turns off. It works at random times, but today, after upgrading to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 the laptop turned off 4 times in 1 hour. It is too much. I've just been working in gnome (configuring sound or network) when it took place. How to fight this? I have now FC3 final (clean install).

I've been having problems with my system fan running full blast since going to FC3 final and have been using the fan control program to set the fan low manually after boot. Fiddling around with the program settings, I set the fans off unintentionally. A while later, the system shut off without warning when the CPU temp got too high. Glenn

Fan is working OK. I'm testing it (FC3) again now. I think the power offs happened when one of gnome programs died. Several times yeseterday I had evolution 2.0 became zombie. And then laptop powered off. It is even stranger because it has good battery, so when I unplug AC cable I can easily work on it still about 3-4 hours. regards Darek Borkowski
