I had a problem like this only it was a weekly occurrence.   I tracked 
it down to the network card driver.  After swapping out the network 
card with a different brand/chipset, the problem was resolved.  In my 
case, i had entries in the log related to an overflowed buffer.  Packet 
sizes were very large and like clockwork based on traffic patterns the 
machine rebooted weekly.  This happened to me on 5.21 release.

i never got around to looking at the driver code as I talked my 
employer into buying a 3com card :)
