Ok. That is the message put into the system log after it has been
rolled over by Apple's daily maintenance script. The failure
occurred some time after that, and was so sudden that the logger
never got a chance to record anything.
Check for some crash and panic logs, just in case something had a
chance to yell "i die!".
When there's nothing in the log, that typically means the failure
occurred really quickly - so it was probably power (house, surge
protector, UPS, or power supply) or heat related. ... Usually, when
the power manager initiates a shutdown because of a thermal problem,
a message is thrown to the log. But not always...
