A flaky power supply is possibe considering the case is 5 years old. Maybe
I'll get a new power supply. Room temperature is doubtful, otherwise one of my
other 3 linux boxes should have had a similiar problem  :)

This box also rebooted or locked up regularly a while back. Turned out being
hardware issues. I narrowed it down to a bad/old motherboard (only after
replacing RAM, video card, nic's, cpu, and harddrive  :/). I replaced the
motherboard and it's worked like a charm til this.

Logs were useless...like someone said in a different reply, I think the cpu
just froze not allowing anything to be reported. Probably from
overheating...Anyone have suggestions for good cpu case mountable fans??

I opted for the banging of the head on the desk and throwing my stuffed
penguins across the room on this one  :) 

Thanks,
