The wifes Tecra S1 had suddenly shutdown a few times in the first few months
of getting it.

But after looking into the problem on newsgroups etc, it seemed to be common
(as you say) and that the fix is to download the latest BIOS firmware.
Since doing this there has been no more sudden shutdowns.

I don't think the shutdowns were due to heat as even now the fan rarely
kicks in.
