From the sounds of it, it's a Hardware problem of some sort. I'd run
a full memtest86 on the box, as well as some sort of CPU torture.
Check all your cables, possibly remove two of the four disks, etc.
Remove as much memory as possible, re-seat memory board, etc. Have
you checked the BIOS version? Have you reset the BIOS defaults to the
'safe' or 'default' settings? Don't bother tweaking stuff to get more
speed, go for stability. The second you have porblems with stability,
you've lost all that time you saved by tweaking things. :]
I would second the HW issue, if the machine is doing a full reset with
no printout out of any type I would think PS, or some other serious HW
issue, Linux generally does not crash without some error message.
How big of PS do you have?
I would try just dding the 4 disks at the same time and see if that
also crashes.
And then if you can remove 2 disks from the machine and retest.
