[PLUG] spontaneous reboots?

[kevin mudrick <kevin@furhurts.com>]

hello,

last week my machine (duron 800 running on an abit kt7-raid board,
running debian unstable) spontaneously rebooted as i sat at my desk.  i
usually leave my computer running 24/7, and this morning, I woke up to
find it with no power.  hitting the power button on my case wouldn't power
it up, but if i removed the power cable from the back, then put it back in
and hit power, the computer started up.

i'm assuming that this could be caused by one of two things:
1) a dying power supply
2) a spike in the lines in my house.

does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to figure out the problem?
i'm assuming it isn't directly linux-related, but in the event that it is,
are there any logs i should take a peek at?

thanks,
kevin
