There are several system utils that'll stress the CPU/disk in the ports
section. I'd try some of those to see if you can cause a reboot. If so, =
it
might help diagnose...

If you have a bad cpu fan, it doesn't take much to crash the box. I've =
seen
this a lot in older dual p2/p3 "box" style cpus. The fan on the cpu =
who's
less than a finger-width from the other CPU siezes up. The box will run =
fine
under no load, but as soon as you put any kind of load on the box, it =
dies.
