One of the other things it could be is something else plugged in to the same line as your computer. If you have a laser printer or a coffee machine etc.. these devices can draw enough to power to bring the line voltage down enough to cause a reboot. You didn't mention if you had a battery backup, which would let you know if you had an issue like this.

I had the same issues before but pluging everything important into a UPS solved it. Now, I hear a little beep once or twice a day from the ups... It's better than the reboot that would have happened.
