Thanks, Adam. Both those things are distinct possibilities. I recently was convinced my HD was failing since I had a difficult time getting it to boot up after a complete shutdown. I did a backup and asked my HW guy to replace it, but what he found was a defective component in the power supply instead of a bad disk. We might have both been right. But I have a HD I am still nervous about, although no more restart problems. I'll follow your suggestions.
