down (partially). If you get to the point where you've entered the
password, but not pressed return, and unplug the monitor (VGA
connection or something fancier?) at that point, do the keyboard and
mouse lights stay on? If they do, press return (with the monitor still
disconnected), and see if they _still_ stay on. This _might_ tell us
something.

I elminated the need for a password, so that's not a problem anymore.
But, it still turns off under other circumstances.

Other than powersaving (which presumably you can wake up from, or
disable), have you determined what those circumstances are?

I got rid of all my CRTs long ago. Too bulky, and I have lots of LCDs
now.

I still have one or two - they can sometimes help with circumstances
like this.

Unfortunately, Boris says the "problem also exists in all Safe Modes"
(his capitals).

Yes.
