1) Check that you don't have any ACPI settings on in BIOS. 2) Check the default ACPI settings of the operating system.
No, no ACPI in Fedora, and disabled in BIOS. @jlugwig: The power supply is about 3 months old- it's a 500w unit that replaced the previous 300w unit. I'll check it though. Any suggestions on how to check it? I have a multimeter, but I know only how to check voltage. Also, isn't there a hardware monitor that can tell me the voltage? I went looking for it in the menus, but could not find it. I just reinstalled to a new hard disk, so lets see how that goes. So far, so good. Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com 4321
