I have a strange problem with the system I built 2 months ago. The problem is that it doesn't play well with Hulu.com. For some reason if I try to watch video at full screen from Hulu, with in 2 or 3 minutes my display shuts down. Just the display, not Windows. This doesn't seem to happen with anything else. I can watch dvd's on the system, and can watch streaming video from YouTube and anywhere else in the web.
Today, though, something else happened. I was playing around with Linux and decided to see what would happen if I watched something on Hulu while the system was running Mint 7. It seemed to run fine for a few minutes, but then the machine simply shut down. I tried to boot it up again, but it just shut down again immediately. Clearly it had overheated. I waited about 5 minutes and they it fired up fine. I did notice, though, that when it first re-started the air blowing out of the PSU was pretty warm.
Do you think this could simply be a heat problem? If so, though, what is it about the streaming video at Hulu.com that is making the machine get so hot?
