Don't know if this will solve your problem, but around here (especially
during winter) static buildup on your body can really screw computers up.
Shocking them with any amount of juice will usually cause them to reboot.
I know that is the cause of OUR random reboots ;->
Get a good static discharger and USE it often, see if your problem goes away.
