GC was offline for a while Saturday evening. This time the culprit was not a power disruption & reboot, although it was the indirect cause.
Each time the server reboots due to the power issues the server saves some messages into the system error log which is part of the BIOS. Not much space there for logs, so this one could only hold 512 messages. And, it turns out, that once that log fills up it will cause the system to wait at a specific startup screen simply to notify about the full system error log. I had to press the F1 key to get it going again.
Not quite what I was expecting when I saw that the server was completely unresponsive. But glad it was a relatively easy fix.
