Total Linux n00b here with a Compaq Presario 2100 with a win xp/ knoppix 3.5 DVD dual boot set up. And while Windows works just fine, Linux will shut itself off from time to time, and while this is livable, it's extremely annoying. Not only because I lose whatever I was doing, but also because I have to go through that disk checker at startup evertime that happens. So, I was thinking maybe it's overheating? It doesn't seem much hotter than it gets in windows though, but that's what I was thinking would cause it to do that. I have ACPI disabled because I need it to be to get it to boot up (but I have absolutely no clue what ACPI does). Could you guys help me out?
Thanks
