It will format its out as HTML so you can monitor via webpage if you want. I have had the same rebooting problem on my 5.4 box, and it doesn't seem to be temperature related. If anything, its seems related to either network load or the driver of the NICs I was using. I have since changed NICs, and it hasn't happened again. At this point, the verdict is still out though.
