Hi,
I have a new installation of Open Suse. I find it to randomly shuts
down, just like someone accidently presses the power button, or issue
the shutodown command. There are no prompts, messages or anything,
just starts shutting down closing everything that I've been doing.
Is this an orderly shutdown where the system switches run-levels and
then powers of, or is it abrupt? Secondly, can you ascertain a pattern
to when it shuts down, or is it apparently random?
I had a system (actually, I still have an use it) that one day began
exhibiting this sort of behavior. Specifically, it would behave as if
the reset button had been pressed. It really bugged and perplexed me
until one day I was connecting something (either USB or audio) to a
front-panel connector and the system reset. This was the clue I needed.
It turned out that there was an intermittent short in a USB connector
on the front panel between its power line and ground. When this short
occurred, the system would reset.
I "solved" this problem through the simple expedient of disconnecting
that front-panel USB port.
...
Thank you.
