Yes, that provided some progress. At least I can tell the name of the component that triggers the shutdown. The session dbus monitor says: signal time=1615549109.464622 sender=:1.13 -> destination=(null destination) serial=832 path=/component/org_kde_powerdevil; interface=org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component; member=globalShortcutPressed    string "org_kde_powerdevil"    string "PowerOff"    int64 6630990 I'm not 100% sure what that means. It seems that powerdevil thinks that someone pressed the power button. More research necessary, but at least we're finally getting a log admitting _something_ happened. I've cracked it!!! The problem was that my USB-C docking station was incapable of providing enough power to run the computer. It should not have been a problem, as I'm guessing the problem was momentary and the computer's battery would have also sufficed. It did, however, respond to this situation by sending a power-off key (which is why the BIOS did not say anything - it wasn't it that initiated the shutdown). I've connected the computer's provided power supply, and the problem is now GONE. Thank you, everyone. Shachar
