[ale] Server PS shuts off for no reason

[Benjie]

This sounds like either a bad power supply, or a bad power control
circuit on the mainboard.
( It could be something as simple as a bad capacitor.)  Can you hook
up another power supply?  ( The power LED would stay on even if the PS
is bad because you would be getting some power, just not enough to run
the machine.)
