MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17632 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	My wife's Mini has been mysteriously rebooting for no apparent reason (twice that I've observed) over the last week or so. The only thing System log shows is "Improper shutdown detected." It's on a UPS, so that should not be happening with power surges, etc. I'm thinking it's either the power supply, PMU, or that rather loosely connected ribbon, interconnect cable. What do you think? _________________________

Is Energy Saver set to start up automatically after a power failure? Just curious. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Yes, Energy Saver is set to start up after a power failure. Turn that off, see if it just shuts down. If you turn power off to the machine on a regular basis remember they have a PRAM battery too, maybe it's bad? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
