Default Unexpected overnight restarts

Any thoughts on why, with 'Automatic restart' switched OFF, my last
unwanted restart took place anyway?


If a crash happens where the OS cannot intercept it,
I would expect to arrive and find the machine in a
shutdown state. And then checking logs later should
contain indications of a "dirty shutdown". Like,
what would happen if you switched the power off
at the back ? Some crashes will be that effective.

There has to be a control on the machine somewhere
(BIOS ACPI object), which when triggered is
as effective as switching off at the back.

Thanks.

I'm still trying to discover what caused my restarts.
