Hi,
I have a machine that turns itself off at random when booting or running Windows XP.
It runs F12 fine once started and compiles GCC okay.
What I was wondering if it is some MMX or extra CPU functionality that it is crashing on.
What I am after is a yum package that uses F12 either a game or a screen saver.
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron

Have you done the obvious test, of running memtest86+ for a few hours, to see if there's any memory errors?

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I had missed your reply. But I see that you have everything working. :)
You can also try xlock, some of the simulations in there are pretty intensive on the CPU/GPU. Or maybe one of the open-source FPS games like Nexuiz would also be a good test for the GPU. Warning: the download size might be quite large.
Have fun
