Run the command dmesg (first, "man dmesg" so you know what this command 
does) and take a look at the output.  This is the bootup message and 
should be replicated in /var/log/messages.  Take a look at the entries 
above for clues as to why your server is restarting.  The last log entry 
before the dmesg output should be something along the lines of "Kernel 
log daemon terminating." and should be proceeded by evidence of exiting 
processes.  If not, you probably have power or hardware problems.  If 
you do see evidence of a graceful restart, at least you know about when 
it's happening.  Start looking through /etc/cron.* and /etc/crontab for 
jobs that run around that time.
