The entire machine shuts down. Very strange.

Two possibilities to explore:

(1) The machine is more fragile than you think, and the CPU load from the Tor process pushed it over the edge, so one of its automatic hardware sensors shut it off to protect it.

(2) Some admin on your local network noticed a bunch of weird traffic, or even just a bunch of traffic, and thought they were helping by turning it off.

Ah! This might be the problem. Tor is almost using 100% of the CPU. Is there a way to reduce the CPU usage? Or should I upgrade the server?
