Cause Of *Really* Unexpected Shutdown
From The LangaList (www.langa.com )

When you work with PCs long enough, you'll see problems you never would have imagined. The following appeared in the Langa List newsletter:

Hi Fred, In today's Langalist you had an article on unexpected computer shutdowns ( http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2003/2003-03-06.htm#7 ) with several reasons this may be happening. I would like to add one more I discovered on some of the computers we have at work that were shutting down or rebooting for no apparent reason. We have Dell computers that have the little round power buttons on the front of the case. What I found was when the buttons were pressed, they would sometimes stick in. Whenever the computers or desks they were sitting on were budged, the power switch would activate and shutdown or reboot the computer. I had to remove the power buttons and sand down the edges to eliminate the problem. (name withheld)
