My linux box died last week. I was putzing along on my normal computer when I noticed the linux box randomly shutoff. I thought that was weird and turned it on again. After it was sitting for a few minutes after the boot cycle it decided to shut off again. I checked the caps and didn't notice any bulging so I figured it was a power supply.
Recently got a new power supply and threw it in there and the same thing happens. Anywhere from 8 minutes - 30 minutes after its been on it decideds to shut itself off.. Do you think something on the motherboard friend itself?
edit: If it helps, to get it to turn on again after it shuts itself off I have to turn off the power supply via the switch in back and turn it back on for the computers power button to work
edit: hah.. I think I found the problem - the CPU fan died.. I jury rigged a 80mm fan on the holder and seeing if it's stable now. Anyone know where I can get a heatsink/fan for a amd xp 3200+?
