Suggestion,
If the machine hasn’t been professionally cleaned over the last 10
years, you might wanna take it into the shop to have that done. From past
experience with a white, 13-inch MacBook I once had, if the heat sink on the
CPU gets 40%, or more, plugged with lint, fuzz, dust, etc, the CPU would
overheat and the machine would randomly restart. I had a friend take it apart,
he cleaned the heat sink, as it was pretty clogged with junk, plus he put new
thermal grease between the processor and the heat sink, put the whole thing
back together, and it never randomly restarted after that.
I’ve seen articles which suggest using compressed air on electronic
components, and while I’m sure it helps, I don’t know how much it actually
keeps junk from clogging up heat sinks?
My suggestion may not help, but it can’t hurt to look into.
HTH?

not sure what ups is but sounds like power supply, if the problem has been

Under energy saver prefs is it set to start up automatically after a power
loss / uncheck and see what happens next time. Reset defaults.
Good luck

Hi folks,
We have a 10 year old macmini in our office serving as a server. Just in
the last few weeks the mini has been randomly restarting. It is on a new
ups so that would not seem to be an issue.
Any ideas what mite cause this?
Thanks.
