I was wondering if there was a way to figure out why it reboots. The amount of time it takes until it reboots can vary from 2 hours to 8 days. If it is a hardware problem, any idea which hardware is causing it to reboot? I thought it might have been the power supply because once in a while the entire system would go dead like there was no juice to it. I have replaced the power supply and it is still rebooting. >From dmesg...
