Hmmm, unfortunately this has been happening to me the last few days... 

Problem being that I have tested my hardware extensively lately because NT used
to BSoD me (bad memory). Everything in this box is all tested.

It was a CURRENT kernel from around the 15th/16th.

It appeared to be working and then as soon as I started accessing pages on the
web or trying to dial in it would appear to do it's job, then all of a sudden
the mouse freezes and after a few secs the whole thing reboots.

I have checked all the fans and I know it's almost not a hardware problem as
this kernel from yesterday (18th) works perfectly... No reset yet...

Mayhaps somehow a brother of the Dying Daemons?
