Hi everybody, the problem was the CPU, we changed it and now everything
is ok., thanks to all for your help:

Jim Belonis <belonis_at_dirac.phys.washington.edu>
Nikola Milutinovic <Nikola.Milutinovic_at_ev.co.yu>


Anyway, I include these answers to complete the solution, including
things that are good to be have in mind:

1) Peter Reynolds: It is possible that you have a memory or cache
problem on the CPU. These intermittant re-booting are a classic example
of this.

2) Joe Fletcher: This generally indicates some kind of hardware problem.
You can try simple things to fix it like reseating all the DIMMS,
making sure disk connectors are properly fixed etc. Failing this it's
time to log a service call.

Thanks to all of you again.
