That's the thing that has me stumped. I DID have a good UPS connected to my system and it still messed up. Actually, after speaking to my wife and recounting the sequence of events, she said that the breaker tripped after she had been running the hairdryer for several minutes. It may be that the circuit breaker going off and my system dying the same day are nothing more than a freakish coincidence. I can't definitely link the two events as the computer ran fine for several hours after the breaker tripped. It was only after it had been shut down for the evening and then would not fully boot up that I guessed there might be a connection.
