Aloha Graeme, Are these computers hooked to Uninterruptable Power Supplys? The only time I have seen that scenario occur was when my wall power suddenly blipped and the machine--a G4 800--just went dark. My other computer stayed on but the UPS alarm was triggered ... the only clue I had that there had been a surge or a sag. I shut everything down and went out and got a UPS for the G4. Incidentally I didn't notice the lights flickering or any other indication. It's not impossible, but it is hard to imagine two machines having exactly the same problem twice in one day independent of one another without an external cause. Good luck, Mac Simpson =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
