Well, those temperatures are not that hot, but that doesn't mean some cooling wouldn't improve things.

Have you popped the case off and pointed a big fan in there and tried to reproduce the crash yet?

You still need to run sensors and get those numbers if you haven't yet:

If your machine is legitimately overheating you need to address that with fans and ventilation, etc.

Well, you're on the right track.  Try to isolate whether glmark alone can crash it, or if you need stress as well.   Then try opening up your case and point a fan in there.

Also don't forget to check the BIOS for thermal management events that might be causing the shutdown/reboot.

Well, not yet ;-).   If it doesn't crash, you might need to stress the graphics card as well with one of these tools:

This will run a stress test for 30 minutes:

stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2  --hdd 2 --timeout 1800s

If you can get it to crash with just this stress program, then it has nothing to do with darktable

Check your bios settings for hardware monitoring and temperature limits.  You may have it set with a maximum temperature so the machine panics when it's just warm.

Try raising this number or disabling the feature entirely

But first check your sensors by installing a temperature monitoring program

You know.... I'm having trouble running darktable. It seems that after I start it it runs a few minutes and then reboots the computer. Probably because I do not have a GPU (I don't think). Then I saw this thread and thought that I'd give that a try. So it seems I can not run chrome and darktable at the same time.

___

'lspci' shows that my graphics card is :

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]

and 'lspci|grep gpu' returned an empty set

(if I did that correctly)

so I suppose the cheapest way to fix this is to get a gpu.... correct?

Subject: Re: computer slow

 

If I ever have that, it's usually because of something with a memory leak, or desktop graphic compositing is degrading over time.

 

Before you reboot, see if you can ssh into it from another computer and check htop (or just top all you have), see if something is consuming all your memory or cpu.

 

Desktop compositors are all shite from what I can tell (including windoze), they're all just a varying degree of broken when you push them, or just have a slow (or buggy) video card.  Depending on your desktop environment of choice, try turning down graphics options, or disabling the compositor all together to see if it helps stability.
