Woke up, go into PC room and my home machine is ALWAYS left on-as is the server. But the green power light was BLINKING! Always the same 1 second blink--no pattern or anything, no beeps (I know cmos beeps). Anyway, it seemed like all the fans and stuff were on, but when I went to turn the moniter on, it had no signal. I said the 'oh shit' and crossed my fingers and rebooted.

Booted fine. Works fine after 2 days now. It's an Alienware, so maybe this could be some unique warning telling me the power supply is dying? Or could it be CMOS daylight savings?

Anyone have any ideas? Very freaky.
