I recently picked up a copy of Quake 4 to keep me busy while i wait for ET:QW but i've run into a rather annoying problem. Whenever i play Quake 4 on linux my pc turns off after only a few minutes of playing. This is unlikely to be a hardware issue as i just run the Orthos stress test utility for 12H without a problem. Additionally Q4 and other games(Rainbow6:Vegas, Guild Wars, CS:S) run just fine on windows. Several hours of memtest have also not shown any problem. Finally other games run fine on linux(Guild Wars, True Combat:Elite, OpenArena). This is really confusing me and i dont realy know how to debug this as there are no logs to check since nothing crashes, the pc just turns off. Can annyone help me out?
My specs:
AMD X2 4600 usin cpufreq_utils for frequency scaling

2GB OCZ 800mhz ram
X1800XT 512MB with latest fglrx
