Configure a serial console on it and hook the console up to another system to see if anything comes across on the console prior to the standby/crash behavior occurring. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I would get a power supply tester and check the power supply to make sure it isn't dying (and be prepared for that anyway). You said you have to unplug the power supply? Does it not have a switch on the back?
