My office lab has a LC server that runs a Dell GX270 (2.6Ghz P4) with 2GB of ram... for some reason.. it just shuts down for no apparent reason.. The guys from my lab called me up and when I had it to restart, it just says "Thermal Excess Problem Causing Automatic Shutdown"...
I'm guessing the 2.6Ghz P4 pretty much cooked.. but it still post... just not into windows... I wrenched the chassis open, the passive cooler was well... I'm no expert in P4.. but its not THAT hot that needed a shutdown. My A64 had headsinks hotter than that.. Yes, the duct fan was working.. and the RAM was pretty cool.
Any ideas guys?
