The systems with more load (news vs no news) crash more often. A couple of observations... If you've had "only" 10 unexpected reboots across 6 machines and that it happens more often on heavy-load machines, does this suggest that some of the machines aren't crashing at all? >Finally it happened in front of me on one of the systems.

Do you use a screensaver on your machines? -DG
