1) Do you have a software watchdog that is configured to reboot the
machine when it isn't tickled? The watchdog might possibly be
rebooting because the machine is under heavy load, or perhaps someone
forgot to enable the watchdog tickler.
There's also the possibility that the motherboard has temperature
monitor and could likely shutdown if the temperature runs too high. Is
the machine properly cooled? Does it have plenty of space so as to have
the proper air flow? What's the processor type? (we all know amd
processors run hotter).
