Ubaidul, you might wanna try this: SSH into the VM from elsewhere. Make sure the window SSH is running in will be able to be left running for a _long_ while, (at least, in so far as it's still there after the VM's lost its network connection) ... then leave it running a simple makeshift monitor. Here's an easy makeshift error monitor: go into /var/log, and run a bunch of backgrounded 'tail -f' commands on various logfiles on the system, and leave that window up and running somewhere. Then when the problem happens again, you can look over and see what errors have been reported recently. Not all errors are logged in /var/log/messages... this is a common misconception, though, so no worries. Please let me know if this helps!
