	For the past couple of days, my SE has shut itself off several
times in the morning. All the power seems to go off briefly and then
comes back on again, and the system has to reboot, which takes awhile
because the hard disk wasn't shutdown properly.
	At first I thought this was a line voltage problem, but no
other appliances seem to be shutting off, nor is there a flicker in the
lights.
	After 5-10 minutes the SE seems to warm up, and the problems stop.
So I think there must be a loose connection someplace...Do anyone have
any ideas where I should look? 

	Thanks for your help
