Comment 8 for bug 94862

(This bug is duplicate of #22336 it seems to me)

I can confirm this bug on Kubuntu/Ubuntu (Feisty). My machine is an ACER 1522 notebook and has previously run WinXP, SUSE10, 10.1, 10.2 with no problems.

When compiling a large project after maybe 4mins the system shuts down, I have been able to repeat this 5 times in a row before stumbling on this bug report.
Note that the fan is working etc..

relevant section from /var/log/messages..

Seems a shame I will have to go back to opensuse as the rest of the OS is great, especially the synaptic package manager. oh well...
