On the contrary, minor power dropouts are my prime, in fact ONLY, suspect. A surge protector provides zero protection from momentary dropouts and they are far more common than most of us realize. The only protection from dropouts would be an Uninterruptable Power Supply with its own battery.

I have seen that behavior, but I never figured out what caused it. It invariably went away with a subsequent update to the OS.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
