You know.... it has been a while since a reboot.

Well,
  lmsensors will allow you too look at the temp of your CPU. If you are idling and the temp is say 30 degrees normally, and all the sudden you see the temp spike to 70 and a reboot happens, check your heatsink. If the proc is really 70c, you should not be able to get close to your heatsink without feeling heat. If you have an IR thermometer, point that at you heatsink and take a temp reading. If it is above ~50, you may have a real heat issue. If it is not, you may have a sensor on the board or cpu that went bad as reporting a bad temp causing a reboot/shutdown because of thermal emergency.

Interesting. So how do I check the sensor? How do I fix it?

It is starting to sound like a thermal issue. And possibly not an actual thermal issue, but a sensor issue.

Mike, I am sorry that I din not get you a quick reply. I have been traveling a lot and was not frequently checking my plug folders. Did you figure this one out. I see there was some follow-up discussion with the rest of the list.

Best,
Mac

apparently some guy had a similar problem and this is what he said:
This command shows that my system came up with a new kernel. Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. 3.2.0-63 after reboot, 3.2.0-61 before

This led me to checking etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades I had set Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true"; I changed it back to the default setting of false.

found- https://askubuntu.com/questions/202335/ ... om-reboots
but there was no 'unattended upgrades' line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

CLI CDRW is not something that I have done - I can't remember the burner software I used. I told it the ISO and it burned and closed the disc.  I am travelling at the moment, so when I get home I will look.  As for the nomenclature of the device, in RHEL land it is usually labelled as /dev/cdrom{0-9}

also what is the rw listed as? /dev/sdc? if that is so I would issue the command 'sudo dd if=memtest86-usb.img of=/dev/sdc'.... right?

well.... it seems blowing it fixed it. thank goodness!  my cdrom is not working and I don't recall if it boots to the USBCDRW. I seem to remember that it was booting from a thumb drive last year (if I remember correctly).... or was it the USBCDRW.... hmmmmm..... hey ET... how do I write the image to  the usbcdrw?

I have had that happen before when a BIOS only partially supports boot from USB. Have you booted from USB on that system before?

Do you have a CD you could burn the iso to and try. That sounds so... old fashioned, but I have a couple of 10 yr old dell workstations that don't properly USB boot that I used before I discovered I could replace them with a couple of RasPis.
