John,

The computer is plugged into a surge protector / power strip.

Any clue on how I would determine if it is the power strip or the computer?? I 
can rule out the power strip by plugging it directly into an outlet, a 
different one than the powerstrip is currently plugged into.

I’ll give that a try.

BTW the computer restarted sometime in the last couple of hours.
