My box has a Debian 2.6.15 kernel and Testing with all the distribution upgrades through 9 Oct 06 installed. I have just one application running under wine which I use intermittently. Yesterday I started it and while it ran as usual a monitor showed the cpu suddenly fully loaded and shortly the cpu high temperature alarm sounded. I shut down the system, rebooted and tried again with the same result. What has changed and how do I fix it? Tom George

No software package should ever cause the cpu tooverheat till it needs to shutdown. This is either a hardware problem or your room is way too hot. The first thing I would do is check the cpu fan and blow the dust out of it. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some computers have software controlled fans so if the fan is not being controlled correctly by software this can happen. Also are you 100% sure that the cpu is overheating sometimes temp sensors do not read correctly. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

"a monitor showed the cpu suddenly fully loaded " I think you all missed this part. And You said: "No software package should ever cause the cpu to overheat" I say: No software package should ever cause the cpu usage goes to 100% and never drops. -- =================Dejan Velimirovic Fun-Zone Administrator http://www.fun-zone.org/ =================-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Machine should not overheat even if CPU usage remains at 100%. This would apply if the application initiated a large matrix inversion or similar. 2. The behaviour of this application has changed with a change in wine. This requires some regression testing to find out which particular change introduced the new behaviour. Geoff
