I've had the same problems...all due to hardware.  Machine would randomly
reboot about once a week, then once every two days or so, finally once a
day.  Tried upgrading hte software, checked for possible heat problems,
checked the RAM, all fine...Disabled the L2 cache, haven't had a single
problem since (unless you count the machine room getting flooded by
Hurricane Floyd).  Most unusual things can be traced down to hardware
problems.
