Workstations shutting down for no apparent reason (F8)

Hello.  I am running 40 workstations with 3 kinds of hardware, all
under fedora 8.  From time to time -- about once every 3 days -- one
of the machine (not always the same) shuts itself down.  Otherwise
they are running 24 hours a day every day. 

The excerpt of the /var/log/messages that seems relevant to me is
always similar to the following:

Nov 18 15:12:26 epgs16 acpid: received event "button/power PWRF 00000080 00000001"

Thanks in advance for any tip on how to solve this problem.

Alain
