Greetings,

This weekend I set up one of my machines to dual boot Kubuntu (Linux)
and Windows Vista Ultimate. Kubuntu was already installed on my
machine. I first tried to use the Gparted that was already loaded on
the machine, but that didn't work. I downloaded the most recent
version to make a bootable cd. Shrunk the partition for linux
creating some unallocated space on the drive and then shut the machine
down. Upon restarting, I am assuming, during the POST I got the
following messages:

Alert! Previous Fan Failure
Alert! Previous Thermal Failure
Alert! Previous Voltage Failure
Hit F1 to continue ....

I get what I think are two long beeps. I still have to find out which
brand motherboard I have and check out the beep codes. The fans turn
till the machine shuts down. Free of dust, no observable impediments
to the airflow. And once on the machine has run for over 24 hours
without a problem. It won't "Restart", it shuts down completely and I
have to power it back on manually with the same messages.

Is it possible that Gparted did something to create this situation?
Since I can't find any real evidence that something is really wrong
can I assume that this is like the car with the ever present check
engine light that runs without a problem for 10 years? I'd appreciate
any feedback you guys could provide.
