- - Check power problems.  Outlet loose.  Old UPS.  New equipment on the
same circuit.  Fridge turning on and off.  Etc.

- - Does it happen at the same time every day?  Check the logs of a time
pattern.

- - Are people passing it or touching it?  One place I worked had an issue
when someone started using the same room it was in.  They would bump
their desk and glitch the power outlet.

- - I have a computer at work that reboots itself 75% of the time when I
remove a USB device.  I have even been very careful and only touched the
device when removing it.

- - Re seat all the power connections in the computer.

- - Boot a rescue CD and run memtest.

Just some ideas off the top of my head.
