SubjectRe: Random APM poweroff

The disk thing is a prime indicator that it *is* a power supply problem..
Rember that power supplies output goes down with age...

The only reason I would think that it's a software prob is the fact that
APM is involved.. And most atxes will soft poweroff from software
command..
