I think you may have a full / <<root partition or a full /home partition. I don't think a faulty psu would result in a graceful shutdown. A psu taking the power-good signal away might result in a graceful shutdown, but not in case power is really not good :-) Also a shorted out / stuck reset button can result in a graceful shutdown. Knowing your system i would go for the full partition option first. Cheers Szemir
