Hergp, thanks for your response.

(By way of clarification: I do, of course, have the power supplies still in the machine - they're all reporting good. I had been removing the CPU DC power modules as part of the diagnostic).

This machine did finally restart - and least got to POST. And it did so - interestingly - with no CPUs, memory or DC power modules.

Then, after lots of vacuuming and re-seating of components one-by-one, it appeared that one DC power module may have been the culprit. Another re-seat, and restart, and it's been running ever since. Has anyone ever heard of an intermittent problem with a DC power module? Should we be worried?

Still don't know what took it down, but we do have some evidence of a late-night power spike, so, am hoping that was the cause...

(No, no power conditioning on this machine for the moment - it's a testbed, so we're not too concerned with its real-world reliability for the moment.)
