Sometimes when I turn on my MP machine it turns straight off again. sometimes this takes 10 seconds or tonight it was fast enough that the TV monitor often had not even started showing a picture before it was turned off again.
I thought it might have been a conflicting setting in the power scheduler settings but I now use power scheduler++ so there is no longer the confusing settings of the same thing in several places, I have had this problem with the standard power scheduler and with the fixed and enhanced power scheduler++.
Usually after 5 or 6 attempts I can get to restart the PC (even then it often turns off before the restart happens) but tonight I had to press reset, it was just too fast.
I think it may have failed to record something tonight because it would not stay on, I think it may have turned on for the recording but then immediately went back to sleep and not recorded till I reset the PC.
Another separate issue is that the log collecting watchdog tool creates files with special permissions, not inherited from the folder it writes to like a normal file meaning that I have to go and change permissions every time I want to copy the file off to another PC, a complete PITA.
