I have an old (ancient?) P4 with 30mb+40mb IDE HDs, it's just used as a
cacti server, has been in use as is for several years, no screen, no kbd,
last power down was about 1 year ago
today I noticed it's down, as there is no screen no keybd, I just hit
reset, but, it didn't come up
once the screen was attached I saw it was stopped on BIOS screen after:
Pri. M HDD SMART enabled
Pri. S HDD SMART enabled
PCI device listing/IRQ
(list)
-----
rebooted to BIOS, set 'fail safe', booted OK
rebooted to BIOS, set 'optimal', booted OK
working fine again
is there any logs that might point out why it stopped earlier ?
any diags to try running ?

I'd bet cmos battery flat or nearly so.
Also +1 to take a look at the power consumption, P4's are notorious for
power consumption, if its just cacti something low power would suffice.
