Since yesterday, my computer has been shutting down randomly. Several
times, I had walked away from the box with nothing special running. I
thought it might be a hardware issue, checked connections, etc.


Just happened again. One thing I forgot to mention is that hitting the power button causes the fans to spin up (and, I think, the drives) but the monitor stays blank and there's no POST beep. I have to hold the button in until the box shuts down again before I can get it to boot properly. That seems to me to be a suspend problem.

Anyway, as this is a desktop box, I decided to remove it altogether. I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst, changing:

title Fedora (2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586)
	root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
	initrd /initrd-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586.img

to:

title Fedora (2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586)
	root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet acpi=no apm=off noapic nolapic
	initrd /initrd-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586.img

I'll reboot and see if the problem goes away. I'd appreciate any comments if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
