These sorts of things are usually but not always HW issues, like bad  
RAM etc.  Reboots are not usually heat, which will usually cause a  
lockup.  It could also be a low level kernel bug.  If you happen to  
see the console when it happens you may see something like "page  
fault in kernel mode" type errors.  If you can trap the console  
output, say out a serial port to another machine, that would help.   
The other thing is to set up a dump file so that if the machine bug  
checks and reboots itself, it writes out memory to the swap file and  
then to a special dump file on reboot so that you can do a post  
mortem with the debugger on the dump file when it comes back up.  To  
do this you have to have a swap file at least as big as your RAM.   
See the FreeBSD handbook for details on how to set this up
