[P1] DVD Heat Problems?- no sleep

[Russ Gorman]

My daughter just had a a similar problem last night on her dvd 400mhz 
imac- it was her energy saver panel either trying to put the computer 
to sleep or shut down the computer (as it was past her bedtime) and the 
computer is set to shut itself off at bedtime.
Disabling the sleep/shutdown options  while she watched the movie fixed 
the problem.
