------- Comment #20 from kvolny@redhat.com  2008-05-13 02:19 -------
I have similar problem with FSC Amilo Pro V3505 ... there is something wrong
between temperature sensing and the fan control, it often happens that the fan
runs at the same speed regardless of the temperature. In such case, if the
system gets under continuous load, it reaches the limit and switches off.

As comments #9 and #16 suggest, something should be done to stop the processor
generating more heat before the critical point is reached, not relying on
anything external like increasing the fan speed etc. Even if "something" means
completely stopping system and doing only empty cycles for a few seconds, it
would be better then leaving it to die, risking filesystem corruption etc.
