Hello again.  This is beginning to look (to me anyway) the problem of the
week section.  This morning, I turned on my computer and was typing a paper
for a friend.  Bout noon, I decided to go eat my lunch.  Instead of saving
the file, exiting windows, and powering down, I just left it there and 
went and ate my lunch.  I've done this a hundred times...I think we all do
occasionally.  Anyway, when I returned from lunch, my computer was off!
The light on my MasterPiece Plus (tm) was on, every light (where a perif
is plugged in) was on, my monitor/printer were on, but the computer had
"gliched out" or more simply, gone to lunch.  I guess it didn't want me
leaving it alone.  Puzzled, I pushed the "computer" button to turn it off,
let the machine sit for a few minutes, then "pushed the button" to the on
position.  The machine came up fine.  While in the middle of a text editor,
the machine "went to lunch" again (it must've been real hungry!)  Anyway,
I powered down, opened the machine, and decided to move boards around.
To make a long story short...I moved my speed up board to the slot nearest
the power supply (where the circulating air is) and put the machine back 
together.

Could my problem be a HEAT problem, or possibly a power supply going
bad.  Sounds like a heat problem, but i'd like to check it out with
you all first.  My machine is an XPC (by Xor) w/640K, 2-360K flops,
1-Qubie' 20MB HD, EGA, Serial ports, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
