    The first thing I would do is run a DDB-configured kernel so it
    drops you into DDB on the console rather then reboot, then do a
    'trace' to see where it crashed.  If the crashes are occuring
    in a consistent place, then it is probably a bug in the kernel
    rather then a memory problem.

    Typically ECC memory either works or you get NMI's.  You typically
    do not get unreported corruption.
