Strange reboots

This is going to sound like a troll or a joke, but I promise in
advance that it isn't.
I have a 21064a running at 275 MHz, and AXP Linux runs quite well
with it in most ways. X works in 8, 16 and 32 bits, networking seems to work
perfectly, and I finally got SVGAlib working last night. However, when I
leave the machine, turn the monitor off, come back, and turn the monitor back
on, it reboots. Judging by the keyboard LED's, it reboots the moment I hit
the power button on the monitor. I have a CTX 17" monitor, with the neat
power-saving features et cetera, but I still don't know how it could
force the machine to reboot.
*Any* help on this would be massively appreciated, because I simply
don't know how to begin. It doesn't do a shutdown, or a 'reboot' command --
it just reboots, instantly. The only other way I know to reboot the machine
that fast is to use the reset button (so now, I guess, I have two).
