like building a kernel with that ACPI stuff?
Or let the case open?

I have replaced the kernel with a prebuilt one from the LiveCD, to no effect. (That is, it works, until the machine reboots again)

Building one wouldn't be an option as this machine is the only one I currently have w/ Linux on it and it does not "survive" a compile before rebooting

Letting the case open I suppose would be a good diagnostic. Hopefully I will find a permanent solution though
