Kris,

I did report the problem with the SMP kernel on this mailing list. 

It is not a hardware problem.

This issue is random reboots with both 5.4 and 6 beta there is nothing
in the logs to indicate what the problem is.

Having spent some 36 hrs trying to locate the problem I was forced to
give up.
