Hi all...
I have a new machine for centos 5. amd 6000+, 2 gig and 750GIG drives. Price is quite reasonable... Anyway...
centos 5 installs fine, I was running fine then the machine just turned off. I tried to run a video for the last 8 hours on it waiting to happen again and it worked just fine.
I then did a continues compile with a batch file and after a few minutes it just turned off... I saw the length of time to do the compiles was increasing. At the end about 10 seconds extra than the time when I first started....
I immediately jumped into the hardware monitor for CPU temp and it is registering 45C. around 114 F. Seems OK at this point..
I have heard before RAM or power supply.
Do these symptoms still point to that? Does the power supply seem more likely than RAM? The RAM is DD2 Corsair.
I am doubtful that the kernel just died or something for froze as the machine TURNS OFF.
THanks for any tips.

Have you checked your power supply fan? I had a problem with my computer here @ work shutting of randomly. It was a bad power supply fan. Eventually, the computer would shut off after being on only a few minutes. One day after repeatedly turning it on again, I got the smell of burning electronics... The rest of the computer was fine, but the power supply was toast.
If the power supply over heats, I imagine that could affect the output, which may slow down your CPU...
