Random restart instead shutdown and power off in bios

Dear all,

since some time my Thinkpad T410 randomly restarts instead doing a requested shutdown. Also there is a random power off while POST when I power on the system (I not noticed any relationship between both problems except the date since they occur - maybe a system update, but I'm not sure).

I'm running Linux 3.1.2-1-ARCH with thinkpad-acpi kernel module and laptop-mode enabled.

I also tried Windows and Ubuntu to assure that this problem is not hardware related and I never experienced the problems with both tested OS's.

Has anybody experienced similar problems or a clue where to start looking for problems?

Cheers,
Martin

By now, i think i solved the problem with a clean arch installation. I know, it's overkill, but I can't figure out the cause of the randomly appearing problem.

@albLinux: If you have this problem when rebooting each time, try google or have a look here:
