 |

Hello, i have been trying my 1st install of gentoo on a soyo pw9081
http://www.soyousa.com/pw9801.html
It had been compiling for about 15hrs and suddenly died, nothing...! no power on, beeps, lights, nothing.
I fear it may have killed the cpu  and being only a poor lad i cannot afford a replacement notebook as this is out warrently and cpu is fixed to mother board so it is not a case of just replaing it, if indeed that is what problem is.
Maybe a note on install that there is possibility of cpu burn out on less powefull cpu's and more of a guide to installing and compiling on more powerful machine.
unhappy and notebook less boo woo |

If, in fact, your CPU did burn out, it was likely caused by a lack of cooling. Gentoo does place a high stress level on the CPU because of all the compiling that it does. However, with proper cooling, even the slowest CPU will do just fine. It just takes longer. 
Sorry to hear about your laptop, though. Hopefully, it turns out to be something else.
