Ouch!  Something is definitely tripping it then.

BTW, I meant "tapping," not "taping" -- sorry about that, my misspelling.
Nouveau won't be using most of the nVidia units at all compared to the
nVidia closed object, hence why the current draw and heat will be far,
far less.

Not seeing anything in the logs - normal stuff and then BAM - then the 
restart messages - not sure what you mean about taping???
I think for now I'm going to leave it with the "nouveau" driver - no 
wobbly windows, OpenGL screensavers are slower - but it works.  I was 
thinking of trying to update the BIOS but I don't have a Windows 
partition on the hard drive and it sounds like a pain to put on a CD 
etc. Also there could be some risk of a bad result.
