I'd be real interested in hearing of the result of that myself, in fact many
other people would probably be listening in too.

Well, the system hits a peak at about 107 F., so I don't think that's it. I
was prepared to put a new 1.4Ghz proc. in when they are here, so I have
adequate cooling (I think).
I think Thorsten probably has the best answer, though I do not look forward
to a re-format reinstall. Gail, the entire scene comes in over 10Megs, so
I'll see if I can narrow it down. I will try to reinstall Windows on top of
what I have and see how that goes.
Additionally, I have a small file that is causing the official Pov 3.1g to
crash. It renders inside of MegaPov, which has me perplexed. I have been
away from rendering for a few months, so this has me scratching my head and
wondering if I have done something stupid. I will post the code (for the
latest scene) in binaries.scene-files and see if anyone else has this
problem.
If, it renders fine, we will know that it is my system, right? :)
TIA,
Grim

I'll get right on sorting out which files are needed, and see if I can limit
the models, etc. It may take a little while, but I'll get it off to you.
(SIGH) O.T., but I am going through a nasty divorce right now, and my
spirits are down. The ex is pestering me with harassing phone calls and
setting my nerves on edge. I'm not happy.
At least I have you all! :)

Oops! :)
MBProbe gives a different picture then the BIOS reported.
The MB usually sits at about 101F, the CPU at about 89F, and the system (VIA
chipset) at about 75F. It doesn't seem critical to me, but what do I know?

Sure wish one of those utilities would monitor the motherboard and sensors I
have. Ah ha! That one lists the i815EM! Finally... Thanks so much for
posting that URL!
Seems I read someplace that AMD's are run hotter than equivalent clockrate
Intel's, the Athlon anyway. Same for Duron? I couldn't say, not sure
anyhow. My DELL notebook is a PIII at 800Mhz and I suspect it isn't wholly
stable, but a well-fanned tower case must be very different.

At least you have someone... :'{
Heh, sorry, I thought I might try cheering you up.
> At least I have you all! :)
And that's a good thing, right? Guess you can't get a better 50-50
relationship than that with fellow and fellowette POVers. Where's a chapel
scene at? Maybe Gail isn't married.

More than I do, it tells me water should freeze on it, 32 degrees F or 0 C.
I knew I was speaking to soon thinking it would finally be the monitoring
utility that could work on this thing. I'm beginning to think DELL took all
the sensors out.

It crashes on my system too. If you comment out "ambient_light 0" below
the scene will render ok. Sounds like a bug but I don't know where or
why.
global_settings { max_trace_level 11 assumed_gamma 1 ambient_light 0 }

Strange, renders without a crash here. You both have the Athlon chips eh?

If running 3.1g try rendering it a few times in succession and see if
that causes it to crash. I got it to render a couple of times but not
reliably.
Yes I have an Athlon.
