Quote - Well good news and bad news.  The dumping of the xml files at least let me run a few tests with IDL.  The bad news, I move up my render settings at all, still shuts down.

Reason has been found, it is overheating.  Seems my CPU broke 100 C when trying to run the render with IDL.  Eep!  Well at least I know what needs replacing when I can afford it.

So, pretty please, can I please have the albinoize with AO?

New heatsink/fan and then I am tackling IDL properly... eventually.

Even with a stock heatsink and fan it shouldn't be getting that hot. Make sure all dust is cleaned away, the fan on the heatsink is working, and then reseat the heatsink applying new thermal paste.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

just pee on it and walk away. :-)
