 The hardware-wise reboots could be caused by RAM, CPU, Motherboard 
 components or PSU... and they could be triggered by dirty power, age, 
 heat or load. If the server is on a UPS it will filter the power and/or 
 indicate problems with the mains power supply (*beeeep* *clunk* *brrr*).

 Another way you could work out if the problem lies with hardware is to 
 run a live-cd (with a cron-job or two to give it some load) for a day 
 and see what happens.
