Rendering large images in both BI and cycles shuts computer down. Not immediately, but like 20 seconds in.

Doesn't always happen. I have included the .blend file for testing.

Event Timeline

Error's like this are almost definitely with hardware (over heating), or bugs in drivers.

Checked the file and works fine here (64bit linux).

closing, since we can't usefully handle reports like this and its very unlikely an error in blender.
