Hi Robert

Notebook seems in perfect status and all (one) fans working. Also I
tried latest kernel 2.6.28-rc9-git3 but without changes (operation not
easy considering that machine shutdown in the middle of a compile
process)
I found this on mcelog but it's not dated so I don't know when this log
appear

MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 1 THERMAL EVENT TSC 862841a78
Processor core below trip temperature. Throttling disabled
STATUS 88370100 MCGSTATUS 0


Is this related to thermal problem of my pc?
Is there other test to do? I'm thinking to try the strange OS
preinstalled with this machine to verify if it's an hardware problem but
I want to keep as last (very last) think to do

Thanks for your help
