Have you bothered to checked what the BIOS says? Yum update is just making a lot of use of your CPU, it is _incapable_ of causing that problem you described by itself. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
I'm listening, that is why I decided to upgrade my hardware. I am not going to overheat my cpu again though, so that I can check the temperatures in the BIOS. Once again thank you all for the help.
