Anything in your logs?
I would recommend running PC Dr, which you can get from the IBM support
site. It will run checks on your entire system (and is the first step
that support will ask you to do).
ssh

Subject: my thinkpad just entered the twilight zone
Morning all
I'm having a very strange morning. Until this am my A20P running Red
Hat linux 7.2 has been solid - it just runs. This morning, for no
apparent
reason, the keyboard suddenly stopped working. None of the keys I
pressed
were acknowledged. I shut the system down via extended pressing of the
power button, and then could not get it to restart until I had removed
the
battery briefly.
I finally got it to restart, and it ran for about 20 minutes then just
power cycled [without my assistance], and refused to start again. After
removing the batter once again I got it to restart. Turned on the power
on diagnostics, everything reports fine.
Oops - darn thing just rebooted itself again, and the first attempt to
reboot halted at RAM check. After removing the battery briefly again,
it
restarts and things report okay again.
I'm a bit perplexed by all this - anyone have suggestions about what
might
be happening? Is this the sort of behaviour that RAM failure can cause?
TIA
S.
