My Slackware 11 keeps shutting itself down but I can't see why.
Does pressing the power button trigger a shutdown event via ACPI on your machine, is it possible that the power button is intermittent short or even just getting stuck ?
I don't think it is a sensors thing, because presumably there would be a event logged before the shutdown if something was acting on a high temp somewhere.
It really seems unlike a heat/power problem as using the system seems to stop it rebooting, it's *never* done it while I'm actually sitting here using it (like now), it only reboots when I go away. Maybe it's lonely!
Perhaps some power saving mode is trying to start and the ACPI interface is confusing this for a cold shutdown ?
sort of OT many moons ago I was troubled by a bug that I would leave my machine turned off but come home from work to find it booted up and ready to go. I went though everything I could think of..but still every few weeks the machine would be powered up by itself. Then one day whilst working at my desk I brushed the left mouse button by accident and the machine fired up. The cause....a strange (wake on mouse?) bios option and a wondering cat !
