So the BIOS has no real way of knowing that it should reboot again in that case. Have you looked for any BIOS options related to powering on from a USB device? eg, I'm thinking of PCs which can be switched on by pressing a key on the keyboard... could that mechanism be triggered by a UPS? Or perhaps via wake-on-lan? (Note I have no real experience with UPSs, I'm just trying to think of other ways that PCs can be made to power on). Bruce -- :b
