We show that a poorly electrically conducting fluid, in the presence of both static thermal and potential gradients, displays instabilities that are very different from those encountered in the Rayleigh-B\'enard problem. For certain parameter values, we predict a direct transition to oscillatory behavior which should be observable by simple means.
