It looks like it read too hastily. Apparently you've got a
problem with
spurious shut-down? That can be a symptom of poor ACPI
interaction that
is sometimes encountered among older hardware with poor
compliance with
the ACPI standard. In that case, removing ACPI support may
rectify the
problem.

I'll try installing with ACPI disabled. The computer is only a couple
of months old so I would hope that its implementation of ACPI is good.

Sorry for being uncareful.


Thanks!
