Help! My debian machine has a mind of its own!

[timothy@smasher.rs.itd.umich.edu]

Hi,
        I have been using Debian 2.0 (from install disks) along with kernel
2.0.33 for the past month or two. My Debian box serves httpd, ftpd, telnetd for
some friends: 24/7 on a permanent ppp modem link. It also has NT and with linux
loaded off the NT boot loader. NT is the default choice.
        Recently: like within the last few weeks, many times when I get up in
the morning, I just see the NT logon screen. And when I reboot and load linux,
it says the partitions were not cleanly unmounted, and goes thru pages and pages
of fixing and updating inodes and stuff. Implying that somehow it resets itself
in the night. At first I assumed it must be short power failures, but it just
happened afew minutes ago when I was in the next room and there was no
powerfailure. 
        Unfourunately, it has never done it while i've been there to see what
happens: Which is funny because I use my machine at least 8 hours / day. I find
nothing unusual in my syslog or kernlog either! :(.  Any ideas what is going
on? I am very desperate for help, because if this keeps going on, no doubt
something important will get damanged when it unmounts uncleanly. (Right now
just my mail files and stuff get fried).

Thanks alot for any help in advance!!!
