Why does my computer turn off?
by lucmove from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5R4JK)
I have this old notebook that was kept in storage for a long time. I decided to use it for some special services I want to have running 24/7 while I can keep turning off my main machine at night.
First, it was "kind of" turning off (the LED indicator lights were still on) when I closed the lid. I solved that.

I left it on for the first night and alas, it was off in the morning. Not completely off. Again, the LED indicator lights were still on. But I couldn't SSH into it and pressing keys wouldn't reactivate the screen. I had to hard reset it.
My question here is, is there some log file somewhere that could perhaps clue me in to what's going on, hoping that it's the system (Debian) and not hardware failure that is causing it to go off?
TIA
