Do you ever see a blue screen message on these reboots? Does the system
function in safe mode?
Try looking at the system event log to see if there are crash details
recorded--perhaps a driver name?
If the system is managing to record a minidump, it is possible to run the
debugger against such a dump and sometimes the actual driver involved can be
fingered relatively easily.
