Anne, the machine I'm using right now ate my lunch big-time, perhaps a 
year ago.  It turned out to be the front panel momentary power switch on 
the junky consumer-grade case.  The really weird thing is, this box runs 
24x7 and the switch hasn't been used very much. Go figure.  
Work-around/proof was to disconnect the power switch entirely, plugging 
reset switch to the vacated pwr sw header.
