Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-4lenny1
Severity: normal
The system is powered down immediately at unforeseeable times without even
proper
shutdown, causing data loss and destroying recordable media being burned. This
happens
around once or twice daily at irregular times. It is of no importance which
programs are
running or if a screensaver is configured. It happens regardless of user
activity, even in
the middle of the night.
It does not happen, however, as long as:
- GDM and X are not running at all
or:
- GDM is showing the greeter (i.e., X is running)
(I tested this for about a week each.)
--- i.e., it only happens in a user session
Once it has happened, the computer may even switch off once or twice a few
seconds after
restarting. Then things calm down.
There are no discernable hardware problems such as overheating, fan failure or
harddisk
failure. I have installed monitors.

Thanks for the followup, I'll close the bug as unreproducible then.
Happy to hear you don't have this problem any more.
Cheers,
