Have you checked your logs? Are there any indications of something going
terribly wrong?

Maybe someone has remotely exploited your box and is rebooting it just
to be a bastard?

New machines are not always perfect. In fact, I consider them untested.
I've installed plenty of machines at work that didn't work right out of
the box. So, hardware problems cannot be ruled out just by saying the
machine is new.
