The temperature above does not appear to be correct. But I do have a question, does your system have variable fan speeds or is this a laptop? If it is either, do the fans come on and run at high speed? If the fans do not come on, try setting up your kernel boot line in the menu.lst in /boot/grub and add acpi=off (this will automatically enable apm unless it was not compiled into your kernel.) Then run your system and see if it autopowers down and/or if the systems fans run. If your system does not have variable speed fans or is not a laptop, it sounds like the CPU fan is not running and needs to be cleaned/replaced/repaired. In this case, the system is properly functioning and is powering down to prevent permenant CPU damage. -- James McKenzie A Proud User of Linux!
