does anything appear in the event logs (system log) that might point to some
kind of driver failure, or hardware issue?
have you run your memory through the wringer and tested it? I have heard of
software based memory testers... you might want to look into that. i am
thinking its probably hardware based, and could be memory. when the system
tries to write to a certain memory space, there is an error, and that would
cause the system to tank, and reboot.
Check the logs and let us know the details of any errors that you see, right
before the eventlog service starts (in the logs).
