[gentoo-user] [OT] Sudden XP death

Hi group,

Trying to set up vmware, unfortunately the PC dies suddenly after booting WinXP. XP boots OK but anywhere between a couple of seconds to about 5 mins afterwards without any warning the PC simply shuts itself off. And when it reboots it doesn't complain about a sudden shutdown, just churns merrily along for a few moments then, clunk, the PC stops cold.

This is a fresh install of XP SP1 with nothing added except for the (native)9250 ATI drivers. It hasn't even been on line yet, so it's not a virus.

It's on sda1, which was freshly formatted NTFS; the rest of the drive is given over to gentoo which works fine.

Be interested to hear from anyone else this has ever happened to.

Maxim
