KT6V LSR mysterious and sudden shutdowns.

Hi,
First post here. I have a cheap Linux project and I have little problems with it. I hope that I can make a good question, with all needed specs And sorry my bad but hopefully understandable English :P
I bough a MSI MB and AMD Athlon XP processor (10€). I also bought 2 256MB DDR memory's and 2 AGP graphic cards from different seller (also tower, zalman fan, DVD-drive, Floppy drive, broken MB and some PSU 20€). And finally I bought PSU from third seller (price was meal). This far I have spend 50€ for my project excluded keyboard, mouse, display and hard drives.
I have tested with another MB that processor and both graphic cards works, but I can't be sure about the rest of the stuff.
My system boots greatly and I can log in to Linux but after a while my system suddenly shuts down. I have tried with minimun configuration (MB, processor, PSU, memory's (both and one by one in different slots), graphic card (both), DVD-drive, display and keyboard) with ultimate boot CD. After shutdown I cant restart unless I keep power button down 5 sec or switch of with PSU power switch and there is still power in USB ports and light in optical mouse.
I got shutdowns:
- randomly in Linux within 1h from start (It feels randomly, no pattern)
- memtest86 and memtest86+ allways in test #7 regarding different kind of memory combinations and time spend until #7
- instantly in stressCPU
It can run from here to eternity:
- in BIOS
- CPU Burn-in (another CPU stress test)
My idle temp is quite high 60C and stress temp is around 65 according to bios and LM-sensors. I have spire whisperrock decently installed with thermal paste. I don't think that the temp is the problem because this processor rand nicely in another MB with similar temperatures.
I don't have another PSU with P4 power, so I can't test with another PSU.
Do I have just lazy weak PSU, broken MB or can all the memory's be faulty? I have also tried one other 512MB DDR (possible bad), but it also acted like my owns. I can't test these memory's in another MB because I has SDRAM memory slots.
I was just about to buy liquid cooling and fancy tower to my budget system, but I would be nice that I would run without shutdowns before that I will buy descent PSU after a while, but should I speeds things up and leave that fancy tower to future, get along with uglies tower ever and buy a decent PSU?
I have been thinking between Thermaltake toughpower 750W cable management and BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 530W. I would rather have BeQuiet, but should I go to more powerfull or is 530W enough for pretty usual system (+ liquid cooling) like in my profile? These PSU's costs about the same.
And of course. BIOS settings are factory setting except FSB is 133Mhz
/Edit: Corrected typing errors and added bios settings.

Yes, that is still a bit too high. When in BIOS it should be 40C (+/- max. 5).
Here is something that has helped a few, and I know it works well. If you know what T-Röd is, where you live, that is good for the cleaning of the processor and heat sink.
Reseating time
You need:
a star shaped, Philips screwdriver, and an ordinary flat one
strong, preferably chemical alcohole and/or Acetonic
a tuss of cotton
clean, preferably dust free cloths
thermal grease, preferably Arctic Silver
good light and a large kitchen table
some patience
a vacuum cleaner, preferably reversible, or a can of compressed air is not bad.
Pull the power cable out, and disconnect mouse, keyboard and such cables from the rear.
Put the case with the open side up on the kitchen table or similar. Have a newspaper under to prevent scratches.
Disconnect all cabling and possible AGP- and PCI-cards from the motherboard. It isn't absolutely necessary, but you might as well take the memory out too, as it will give you more freedom later.
With a philips screwdriver /star shaped/ unfasten the motherboard. When lifting it out I normally use the heat sink. Lift slowly.
Put the motherboard beside the case on something a bit soft, a cloth or a thick newspaper. Use an ordinary, flat, screwdriver to unfasten the heat sink. You push a clip down, and when that is loose it's easy to lift the heat sink off.
Clean both the bottom of the heat sink and the processor chip from old thermal grease. This is important! Strong alcohole and oil free Acetonic and a tuss(?) of cotton are good for this. After the cleaning, dry with a clean cloth.
If it is possible, use high-pressure air to blow the heat sink fins free of dust.
Make a note of the model no. on the processor.
Put the processor back on. Add a small drop of new thermal grease on the very chip of the processor. The drop might be half the size of a corn of rice. Spread it out with a plastic card: American Express Gold.
Make a virtual seating of the heat sink, so you are sure where to finally fasten the clip.
This might sound like a major task, but when prepared you'll do it in about fifteen minutes.
Before putting the motherboard back, you might have a look to see if the case needs some dry cleaning. Also have a look at the PSU and the cards. Don't use anything than air.
Here is some additional, illustrated, guidance:

I was charge my MacBook pro , and suddenly shutdown him self , and I cannot switch it on again ???

I was using my MacBook Pro , and same time I was plug it to charge , and suddenly shutdown himself , and at this time the battery was 80% , and I try many times to switch on again , but I cannot , I has this problem for almost two days now , I'm really worry about it , and I need to open it fast because all my work in there .
Please I need your answer fast .

Seems you might have a hardware problem. Like the Logic board has failed. your best option is to take the system to an Apple store to have it properly diagnosed as to the problem.

KT6V-LSR LAN and USB problems

This is my second KT6V-LSR, the first was dead out of the box - no power what so ever.
I'm using an AMD Athalon XP 1600 and Windows 98 SE (wife's computer and I don't want the hassle of changing her over to XP). She just uses it for internet and email and to create patterns for her embroidery sewing machine.
When I installed the drivers from the CD, my USB would not work nor did the LAN.
Looking at the system devices I see the following problems:
For the Network Adapters - VIA RhineII Fast Ethernet adapter I get: The NDIS.VXD, NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
The VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB universal host controller I'm getting: The NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
Where are these supposed to be located? I don't see them on the CD.
I'm also glad to read that this board has a boot-up problem. That is the main reason I got rid of the old ECS board. It would sometimes lose it's BIOS when it booted. At first I thought it was a cold problem, but then it would sometimes do it on a reboot. And yes I did put in a new battery. The problem was still there.

Hello.
Windows 98 is not recommended on the new boards as you may run into serveral problems with drivers.
USB 2.0 drivers VIA 4in1 drivers
Some drivers for you to try,
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=511&kind=1
Is that windows 98 you are using or windows 98se?
98 is a bad choice.
You should use windows XP.
Your other post about BIOS settings, post your questions there and people will try to answer them. Online forums have all the answers.

A blue screen error and suddenly shutdown on my Sat M70

i have a M70 laptop i buy it just 3 weeks ago. i start facing the following problems
- system exhibit blue screen with an error message that i do not understand ( ) just when i slightly move my laptop or even when just changing the screen angle!!!!!!!!!!!! ( sometimes with a stange noise from the right highspeaker)
- sometimes the screen shutdown but the system is usually running ( i can hear noise and LED is brightning)
i am recognizing your help and interest

Hi
Usually if the Blue Screen error message occurs, so it could be a serious software fault or a hardware malfunction.
There is no generally solution for this problem. In my opinion you should check, if the software is responsible for this malfunction.
Try to install new OS or recover the unit with the delivered recovery CD.
Maybe this will solve the problems.
If not so it must be something wrong with the hardware. You should contact the Toshiba service. He can run some diagnostic test and you will get a detailed answer what its wrong.

T61 overheat and suddenly shutdown on docking station

I have this T61 just over a year and was pretty happy with it. Recently I got an advanced Mini Dock and I noticed that the machine seems to get overheated and sometimes it suddenly shut down and I couldn't turn it back on after 20 to 30 mins later. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

1. if its still in warranty, use it
2. find the intake and output air vents and make sure they are free from obstructions
3. if the intake vent is underneath, dont use the laptop on your lap, laptop is just a term, they are not really supposed to be used on your lap
4. if the intake vent is at the back, is the docking station blocking it?
5. if your out of warranty, consider reading the maintenance manual first, then when you feel brave enough and in a good state of mind, opening up the machine and checking the fan and cpu heatsink are not completely bunged up with chit
6. call ghostbusters

12V On Powersupply KT6V-LSR?

Hey,
I currently have a KM2M Combo L mobo, and I want to upgrade to a KT6V-LSR mobo, and also PC2100. My power supply is totally great with my current setup, but will it be sufficient for the KT6V-LSR? I have a dell PSU laying around w/more amps on the 12v line, 16A actually, my current specs are below, and im not changing anything w/new mobo besides adding 512mb PC2100. Help appreciated, i dont want to run into problems...:(

Well, I Put The Dell Power Supply In (250W) and It Works Like A Dream! All Voltages Are Higher, And Dont Move Around As Much, Played Far Cry For 3 Hours, Not A Jitter! You Can Tell, Just By Feeling How Solid And Heavy The Dell PSU Is, Compared To That 'TurboLink.' The TurboLink Was So Light And Flimsy, You Could Push The Sides In!!!!! As For Motherboards, I Purchased On Newegg.com The SOYO KT600 Dragon Plus 1.0. Sorry MSI, Still Love Ya! Juss Lower Your Prices. I Also Downloaded The SOYO Manual, And It Said At Least 350W, BULLLL. If you HAVE A QUALITY Power Supply, You Can Run Anything On It! My Dad Had This Power Supply (Just Bought A Antec TruePower 430W To Replace-Had SATA Plugs) And Was Running The Following On It....
DELL 865PE CHIPSET MOBO
P4 2.4GHZ
512MB PC 2700 DUAL CHANNEL
80GB HITATCHI 7.2K RPM
ATI RADEON 9800 PRO (OC'ED TO 436/884)
SB LIVE 5.1
I/O MAGIC 8X BURNER (DVD)
48X NEC CD BURNER
2 CASE FANS - 1 CYCLONE PCI FAN, 1 120MM CASE FAN
If He Can Power All Of THAT!!! I Can Sure As Hell Get Away With It On My SOYO. And He Also Had NO LOCKUPS What So Ever.
As For That Turbolink, Im Selling It On Ebay, Along With My KM2M, Athlon T-Bird, And 256 MB Ram.
Thanks To All Who Have Ever Helped Me With My MSI. I'm Sure I'll Come Back And Post A Problem With My SOYO Under "Everything Under The Sun" Section!
Goodbye MSI. Helooooo SOYO!

Random, Sudden Shutdowns - A redux and other things to rule out first

Do a google search for "macbook random shutdown" and you'll find many people with similar problems reporting on various forums. At present, this issue has not been picked up by the mainstream PC news media. However, one should also note that only a fraction of those with problems are suffering this particular fault. A large number of other reasons must be ruled out before a MacBook owner should become convinced their machine is one which suffers this problem. Bad RAM, poorly seated RAM, improperly installed hard drive, corrupted OS, corrupted plists, bad batteries, bad chargers, corrupted PMU, and corrupted NVRAM all need to be ruled out first!
My own MacBook suffered the random sudden shutdown malady and eventually required complete replacement after a logic board replacement did not solve the issue. Some of the MacBooks appear to have a hardware problem which surfaces after a period of use. Many reported their problems starting after a month of ownership. Coincidentally, that also coincided with the release of 10.4.7, but most likely that is not at the root of the sudden, random, shutdown problem.
(However, 10.4.7 is strongly implicated in a separate MacBook problem - colored vertical lines during boot on some machines. That is probably a separate issue.)
Description of the Random, Sudden Shutdown Problem
MacBook suddenly shuts off to a completely powered down state seemingly at random. There are no kernel panic, mouse freezing, or other premonitory symptoms. The machine simply powers down suddenly. The screen goes black. The hard drive spins down and no sleep light illuminates. The machine simply turns itself off.
The shutdowns may occur on either battery or with AC adapter attached. Some owners report their MacBook is less prone to sudden shut down while on battery vs AC adapter. My own afflicted MacBook would suddenly shutdown on a fully charged battery or on either of two AC adapters.
The shutdowns occur with either 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 OS loaded. I went through several cycles of clean installs of the base 10.4.6 and the Intel Combo update to 10.4.7 before it became clear that it mattered not which OS was running. Another indicator that this is not an OS issue is that sudden shutdowns can occur in target mode and also when running just the Apple Hardware Test - which relies on minimal software to operate.
The shutdowns tend to grow more frequent once they begin. They may worsen to the point that a machine will not complete boot up before shutting down. It may take several power up presses to start the machine. Oddly enough, a machine that had difficulty starting up, may be easy to start up several minutes later. It may run for hours or minutes before another sudden shutdown. The frequency is low and random enough that is very difficult to demonstrate this fault to a service technician.
Some users are able to induce a sudden shutdown by running their CPU's at high load and thus heating up the machine. This is easily done by running the yes command in two Terminal windows. Some users report their MacBook is more prone to sudden shutdowns when their CPU is relatively cool. The bipolar reporting is confusing. There may be more than one type of sudden shutdown being reported. One due to CPU overheating and another due to another hardware problem which has yet to be elucidated.
Resetting of the PMU and PRAM MAY temporarily reduce the frequency of the sudden shutdowns, but the effect is temporary. Indeed, the effect may not even be real given the randomness of the shutdowns. None-the-less, one must perform PMU and PRAM resets to ensure that some corruption of those devices is not creating a reason for shutdowns. On my own MacBook, resetting PMU and PRAM (four chimes) did not prevent the random sudden shutdowns.
The sudden shutdowns occur with well seated stock RAM, replacement RAM, and reseated/replaced hard drives. Swapping out and testing both RAM and hard drive helps to eliminate those as the source of the problem. On my own machine, I exchanged the RAM and the hard drive to eliminate them as the cause. This made it considerably easier for the Apple genius to decide it was an internal problem.
In my case, a logic board replacement did indeed solve the fault, but several days later, sudden shutdowns began again. Presumably either the replacement board has the same weakness as the original or some other component of the machine was the actual reason for the sudden shutdowns. The former is quite likely because the machine was made stable for several days with a new logic board. At that point, I requested to be swapped to a new machine and the Apple Store manager wisely decided to help out his customer. For that I am most grateful. However, it is unlikely that the majority of people will have their machines swapped out, but instead repaired.
At this time, no official statement regarding cause for or acknowledgment of the MacBook's sudden random shutdown problem has been made. Because the underlying cause has not been revealed, it is impossible to know that a logic board replacement will permanently solve the problem or merely result in the same fault recurring later on the replacement board. Of course, we do not know if it actually is a logic board flaw.
My advice to MacBook owners whose machines develop the sudden random shutdown symptoms are to...
1. Get your data backed up immediately. The machine will likely suffer more and more frequent shutdown events.
2. Revert to stock RAM and hard drive if you have installed after-market replacements. You must do this and see if the shutdowns continue to occur. Otherwise, the first thing blamed will be your RAM and hard drive.
3a. Perform a PMU reset, by shutting down the MacBook. Removing the battery. Disconnect the AC Adapter. Then, press the power button for five seconds. The reinstall the battery and mains adapter. Restart the machine.
3b. Reset PRAM by holding option-command-P-R keys down during startup until you hear the chime at least three or four times.
Resetting the PMU and PRAM are standard procedures you'll otherwise be asked to perform to diagnose your machine.
4. Do a CLEAN install of the OSX if you wish to totally eliminate a bad OS install as the problem. This will destroy all your data. Alternatively, an archive and install will be helpful without totally destroying your data, but that will not let you exonerate your system files and settings. An alternative is to run Apple's hardware test utility which is found on your OS installation disc. However, an extended hardware test is needed because the shutdown flaw may take hours to surface.
Note: If your MacBook has become so "narcoleptic" that it cannot even complete a boot up sequence, try holding the power button down until you hear a loud beep. That may allow an otherwise balky machine to start.
Once you have done the above, and are still seeing random sudden shutdowns, you have largely done the preliminary footwork that you'll need to prove whether your MacBook has this particular problem and not something more common. Then, call AppleCare or visit your Apple Genius to have the machine repaired or replaced. Hopefully, the root cause of this problem will be discovered, disclosed, repaired and prevented. For now, it appears only a fraction of the MacBooks are suffering this fault, but the machine population is still young. Overall, the MacBook is perhaps the finest laptop I've bought from Apple. It will be nice to trust the machine to not lose my work.
BTW - resetting PMU may induce a separate 10.4.7 related bug which results in your MacBook exhibiting a white screen with progressively more numerous vertical color lines during startup. This appears to be fixable by resetting PRAM and then temporarily changing display resolution to something other than the current setting and then back.

thanks for the comprehensive info. i experienced this for the first time today. i bought my macbook the day they were released. the shutdown happenned for me after leaving my computer on overnight with no programs running. about two minutes into web browsing it shutdown. it then shutdown in the middle of restarts. i disattached power cord, external hard drive, dvd burner & ethernet & it powered up and has been working for about 20 minutes since.
this computer has really been a lemon. first my superdrive scratches the **** (just previewed this, i can't believe they sensor the h_ word?) out of discs, then the trackpad button becomes very hard to push. i've been working around those issues using an external dvd burner and mouse, but not sure how to work around sudden shutdowns. i haven't been able to send it in for repairs yet since i bought it cause i needed it's dvd authoring capabilities for a class i was taking, plus i wanted to make sure nothing else went wrong (self fulfilling prophecy?). i was planning on taking it on vacation with me, but guess i better pack my old ibook too (which other than a cd burner which sucked from the start, has been very reliable). i'll send in my macbook when i get back.
anyway, thanks for the info & advice! i'll back up my crucial data now.

Upgrade to KT6V-LSR gone wrong, system freezes and BSOD's

Hi guys!
I just recently bought a KT6V-LSR to replace and Asrock K7S41GX motherboard. After putting all together (specs on signature) installed windows from scratch in a new partition on the master drive. Installed VIA 4 in 1, DirectX 9.0c, Catalyst 5.03, Realtek sound driver, LAN driver, USB patch, all of them were the latest versions available from the corresponding site, everything while the pc was not connected to the internet.. When I installed the Catalyst driver, rebooted the computer and it started testing the computer to find the "most stable settings" according to the installation said. The screen got all srambled but it seemed to bel going on, on the installation process it said that it'll take about 1 minute, waited about 5 an then restarted (it said that the test might cause the system not to respond anymore and that if it happened, restart it), it started all right. Then I installed NAV 2005. Installed acrobat reader. Then I tried to install Office 2003 and the system froze when it was about 15% of the copying files process. Restarted it and then the system crashed again the same way. If I leave the system running idle, it crashes randomly. It didn't show up with a BSOD at the beginning but now it shows
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x00000077 (0xc000000E,0xc000000E,0xc00000000, 0x01b42000)
and another one
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x0000007A (0xE14F862c,0xc000000E,0xcBF97B704, 0x02c23860)
(once each)
I'm thinking (from what I have read here) it might be the power supply, but since here in costa rica it's almost imposible to find a decent 400W PSU and I won't have the 100 bucks it costs for a couple of weeks more, is there anything I should try?
Temps on the system are 45-49 idle, 53-55 load. Applied thermal grease to the HS&F before installed it.
the 12+ (I've read is very important since the KT6V is very hungry on this rail) is showing up about 12 on the core center, but I've read that is not really representative...
Haven't updated to BIOS version 2.0 yet...
I checked the memory, ran only 1 stick and then the other one, on both slots.
I'm open to any advice, for sure I'll replace the PSU but that's gonna take a couple of weeks and I wanted to check if there's something I could try in the mean time.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey , Ford Tech , can you give an explanation of what the setup with the CD drive and the master harddrive on IDE 1 will do .
I have the same PSU nazgoth has .
I'm just interested in the affect that setup will have with the power in the system .
If you have noticed my posts its more of a house electricity thing with my setup , the harddrive not getting enough power , temporarily I hope .
Not really a voltage concern.But I guess it could if both drives are running at the same time.With IDE, one is limited to two drives in a chain, and these drives cannot work at the same time. In essence, they must "take turns".So by putting 1 HDD as primary master and cd as slave,you will get the full performance of your drive.Most peeps only run CD roms for program installs and or CD burning or copying anways.
As far as the cable,yes there are 80 wire flat cables that work just fine.The only reason to go to the round cables is to improve air-flow and or the length of the cable itself.
I am sure many people use it the old fashion way with no problems.I just experienced a performance issue when I had HDD's on the same chain.It was mainly because I load all my games on my D drive.It also kept defaulting it to PIO mode which is the slowest mode.Since swaping the drives around on the chain(IDE1=HDD-Operating system-primary master and CD burner as Primary slave)(IDE2=HDD-Storage/gaming-secondary master and my DVD rom as secondary slave)Both drives run in UMDA-MODE-5 set up that way with no more problems

Ultrabay battery won't switch to main battery and results in sudden shutdown.

Hi,
I just changed my windows 7 32 bit to 64 but version. The power manager version is 3.66 and driver version 1.64, bios version is LENOVO 7UET93WW (3.23 , 12/15/2011). The ultrabay battery drains to zero and won't switch to main battery, which leads to a sudden shutdown without any warning. In windows 7 32 bit version, I don't have such problem. It's annoying. My computer is T400 7147 CTO.
Thanks!
chicagot400

Hi I have the exact same problem. I have a T400 2764 CTO. Changes I have recently made (past 2 weeks): I upgraded to Windows 7 64, added a PC Card media reader, added an express card USB 3.0, a Samsung 256 GB SSD and the Ultra Bay Battery. Everything was working great... both batteries recognized, ran Lenovo Update... Have everything...
Well the battery meter recognizes both batteries (a 4-cell and a 3-cell), combines their life, but it drains the 3-cell first to ZERO... and isn't bright enough to figure out how to switch before abruptly dropping power to the system.
Hopefully like the ATI switchable graphics that had bugs for ages this battery issue eventually gets fixed. Let me know if you figure out any solution. AND LENOVO, if you are reading, try and set it up so that the 2 battery usage maximizes the life of both batteries with whatever controller you put together.
Thanks.

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. Depending on what install method you chose, any problems you had with 10.5 could be transferred the the new install. You may not have realized you even had any.
Then Repair Permissions.

MSI KT6V-LSR, (MS-7021) and WinXP after upgrade

I upgraded from K7T266 Pro 2 to MSI KT6V-LSR (VIA KT600) and Windows XP (Home edition) boot correctly, but after auto-loging they stop responding to me (I can move mouse+keyb), but the system is running (after 5 minutes screen saver starts). I see, that XP wants (P&P)to install new CPU (Athlon XP 2200+). Safe or debug mode does not help. Is it necessary to reinstal Windows ? Is there any chance to repair the system?
(When I gave there old CPU - Athlon 950, the system P&P halted on detecting CD-ROM).
Thanx for helping or giving me some link on the web.

So then this is not a fresh install of win xp on the KT6?
Also what is your full system spec's Please include Power supply AMP's

[VIA] MSI-7021 (KT6V-LSR) and Sempron 2500 problem.

I bought a AMD Sempron 2500 1.75ghz and a MSI-7021 KTV6-LSR, I connected the Sempron to the motherboard and powered up, well I got power to the fans, but no activity and no sounds. I plugged in the LED diagnostic kit that came with the motherboard and all 4 red lights are on, according to the manual this means either a fault with the CPU or it aint seated properly. So I reset the CPU and the same 4 red LED's came on again. I thought it could be a PSU supply problem, so I disconnected all the hard drives and the DVD-ROM drives and still the same problem occured. So I decided to test my old Athlon 1.2gig CPU in the motherboard and the same problem occured again, no activity and all 4 red LEDS on the diagnostic. I also disconnected the 2 DDR memory chips.
I dont have one of those 4 pin power connectors, do I need on of these.
I tested the new Sempron in my old PC motherboard, an ASUS A7V-E and it powered up without any problems, so obviously it cannot be the new Sempron CPU that is fauly.
Can someone point me in the right direction. I hope I have supplied enough information.

I would need the 4 pin even for a old Athlon Socket A CPU too. Why is this exactly, does the KTV6 use more watts than a normal older mobo.
You need the 4-pin because it is part of the mainboard's design power. That 4-pin connector exclusively supplies your processor. No 4-pin lead = no power to the processor.
And you are better off with the Antec than the Tagan. Tom's Hardware, based in Germany where Tagan is prevalent, has had nothing but failures from Tagan power supplies. Most recently THG chose a Tagan for their Intel and AMD Stress Test - the Tagan died. To be fair, the Tagan was a pre-production test unit, but the authors did make a point of saying this was not the first Tagan that has died in their lab.

KT6V LSR mysterious and sudden shutdowns.
