This is a long-shot but the last time I had the same problem it turned
out that there had developed a loose connection with the heat-sink and
processor on the motherboard.
As a result, the processor used to over-heat in about every 3 minutes
or so, the watchdogs would come into picture and cause the machine to
hang or reboot.... usually reboot.

Just give a quick check on your hardware before probing into the software side.
