Hello everyone!
I want to thank all of you for ideas and support!
Finally I've resolved this annoying problem with Unexplained power off.
Right were those who supposed hardware problem. I've replaced PSU, and
everything is OK - system is stable under any load...

Check (try and change) the power cable. Just an idea, but i have seen this

In this case I could only replace PSU for testing.
That's probably a worthwhile step.
It might be worthwhile setting up a serial console and logging it
on another box to see if anything is written to the console before
it dies.
It's

There are two ways of problem-solving have been outlined in this thread.
One way - hardware problem, e.g. PSU.
Another way - software, e.g. APM/ACPI problem.
I could not find any PSU
It is fresh mobo (about 8 months). I've visually checked capacitors - it
looks good.
Well, it is time to change something in my life: mobo or PSU, or disks,
or memory, or something else

Don't take it personally, but could it just power-off the monitor?

AFAIR, if you have to power-off manually (long pressing power button)
before power-on, it does will make FS dirty. Instead of real correct
power-off case.
Try to make a simple script

No, monitor shows there's no signal...
Disk activity led and power led are off. Keyboard leds are off too.
There is no network activity, no ping-reply...

It is possible, but now machine does not getting too hot. See my first post:

Maybe the machine is trying to go to suspend, but fails while doing
so, which in the end would mean that it can't

Christian, thank you!
I recompiled my kernel without ACPI/APM, with debug option. I've updated
BIOS. I'm testing the system now. About any results I will tell later.
... but I don't understand why machine should go to suspend or
hibernation through high user/system activity... o_O
yes, that's correct question ... your's mobo reports about everything is
fine may be mistaken ...
check your ACPI and related settings and hardware

Hi Christoph!
I've checked supply voltages by digital multimeter, and temperature I've
checked manually by putting my hand on supply case - it is not very
academical method, but reliable enough, I guess :)

Another suggestion would be to check the SMPS in the
system. These symptoms could be explained by voltages
going out of spec when under load.

FreeBSD Volunteer,
As I mentioned in previous post, I recompiled my kernel without
ACPI/APM, with debug option. I've updated BIOS and tested the system.
Successful.
I mean successful crash.

Yes, nothing changed.
Problem could be in anything: memory, raid controller, network adapter,
power supply, bios and so on. But to test it all empirically will take
too much time. The most annoying thing in this situation is absence of
any system/kernel messages or reports that could explain

If you suspect power, check the rails under load (eg lots of disk
