I have a problem: my PC shuts down once in a while without

There appears no crash handler when it has rebooted. Can you
please tell me where I might find the problem? What logs should
I check?

You might also check the power supply. I just had one that quit.
Well, not quit, but would at random intervals just reboot. No
messages at all. Once I replaced it the system is much more stable.

I hope not: it's a brand new Zalman 460W powersupply. The system I
have should not need more than 350W and the problems do not appear at
maximum load, although I didn't test maximum load.

Mine was a pretty new 650w that was flaky. The same system is on a
temporary 400w and works just fine. When mine was dying, it was random
with no warnings at all. I do remember something a while back about a
bad voltage at the USB port or something similar. I took all the ISB
stuff off and it seemed better for a while. The best I can come up with
is that the PS had a bad voltage regulator somewhere and the system
would notice and shutdown.

I have found something on the nVidia Nvnews forums: A system that uses
mmconf and an nVidia PCI card will crash randomly. I hope this is the
problem: I added pci=nommconf to to Grub (just for this boot. If it
hasn't crashed by tomorrow morning I will edit the menu file.)

Thanks.
