<p>Still doing it.</p>
<p>USB has power. Keyboard caps-lock light responds. Machine not
responding to ping.</p>
<p>I frittered about, then rebooted.</p>

<p>Boring review of logs follows:</p>

<div>Here's a post that describes a similar issue where the

<div>One poster mentioned that Mint tends to run "a little
hot."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two commands referenced are these:</div>

<div># info about your system</div>
<div>inxi -Fxms</div>

<div># display system logs</div>

disable this.<br>

I have peeked at logs, but nothing is jumping out at me.
How can I find <br>
out why the machine is shutting down?<br>
<br>
Sure, a wake-on-lan/ssh would be fine for this machine, but
I'll worry <br>
about that after I can figure out how to keep it up.<br>
<br>
I had it running 24/7, months at a time under Mint 18.<br>
