- - 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.
