I checked the BIOS settings already and they are OK, hence the first
post. This is the first time in 6 months of use that this machine has
shutdown like that on it's own, is it possible that a power sag might
have caused this? Yes, I know, a server should be on an UPS but that was
scheduled for end-month when I move and switch to static IPs w/ higher
bandwidth. I'll follow your advice about APM and remove it from my
config, the system will be offline for four days during the move (Apr 1
- 4, 2002) anyway, so I might as well take that time to install
Slackware (again) and update the kernel anyway.

Thanks for your input David.
