Are the failures power related, or is the system just shutting down on its own?
If the latter, I would suspect either a power supply or a processor fan. If the former, maybe you need to invest in an inexpensive UPS.
I do have a UPS, and it's fully charged. The system is just spontaneously rebooting or shutting down.
My first guesses would be the system power supply or the CPU fan.
I'm beginning to think that way. The smartctl long test has completed without errors. I think that I'll dig out the specs for the mobo/cpu tonight, then buy a new PSU and CPU fan in the morning.
