Perhaps I should clarify. I did take a look through the logs and
pointed them to the event viewer items reporting the POST errors and the
restart time along with the event ids. (Windows Server 2003)
So I didn't mean to imply that I didn't look through the logs at all.
Now I'm being asked to diagnose the problem it seems.

Chris,
Why would you not want to take a cursory look around? It could be as
simple as looking at the alert logs and saying "Oracle did not report
any problems" and then kick it up to the SA's. I know I would do it.

So how many of you are responsible for examining your database servers
for hardware/software faults when it crashes? Not the database, but the
actual machine?
We recently had a server crash that reported problems when it came back
up. It has also saved a dumpfile to be examined and it reported
problems during the POST routine.
Now I get this email from my DBA manager: (paraphrased)
"Chris,
John [pc/lan mgr] requested that we try to put our finger on what caused
MachineA to failover on Saturday. I looked through the logs extensively
today [uh huh] and couldn't find anything - can you look around too and
see if you find anything?"
-Bob"
(Obviously names changed)
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood this morning....grrrr
