I have never seen this particular behavior triggered by software. If, by any chance, this is more likely a hardware issue. Maybe the power supply is unstable or the CPU is overheating. > They aren't regular shutdowns and happen instantly, the filesystems are not > unmounted > and broken and so they have to be restored at the next boot.

But if it was, it would surely be a kernel problem. > They happen randomly but seem to be somewhat linked to files access, as they > sometimes happen when I'm using mate file selector. I have absolutely no clue how that would even happen. The kernel doesn't simply power off the system. > I've looked into various system logs but can find any entry related to these > shutdowns or the date they occur. > > I don't think that they are caused by an hardware problem on my computer, > because > it runs absolutely fine in debian wheezy and osX. The machine might not be as heavily used on OSX and Wheezy as it is on sid. > Has anyone a clue to help me to track down the cause of these so that I can > file a bug ? Try running the machine with different kernels because that's the only possible origin of such an issue. Adrian -- .''`.
