odd crash/reboots as of late..??

To set the table, I had monowall 1.231 running fine for the longest time on a dell powerapp100, then somewhere down the line it decided it wanted to reboot on it's own periodically and for no known reason that I could find...no pattern either...eventually I installed the newest beta, 1.3b4 I believe, it worked flawlessly for quite a while...

I needed to set something up at work so I got two more of these powerapp100's and set up a couple of twins, worked flawlessly...

until the last couple of months, at home first I started having the reboot issue again, but at home it is not that big of a deal so I really never got around to doing anything with it...and then, last week here at work, it started happening....sheesh....

At this point, with work being the paycheck, I figured I would install the latest stable release, did so and everything went well for a couple of days.  I also installed the latest stable release on the one at home two, which worked flawlessly for a couple of days too...then on sunday, the one at the house did the same oddball reboot for no known reason, the one here at work has rebooted once since it was upgraded last week....

Anyone else have this issue or offer any suggestions that I could just be spacing?

oh, these are running on cf/ide adapters

DOH, I guess I could try running the config on a live cd and see what happens to maybe draw  a line between the computer and the cf/ide adapters....

hep!
TIA

haven't gotten around to trying a livecd or hard drive or just taking the cf/ide out of the picture, but, I did setup a syslog server to capture the logs and each time it crashed, or at least the last three in the last couple of days, the last line in the log before the reboot is x.x.x.x hitting my public ip on port 6881....and yes I have bittorrent running here....and quite possibly it was running at work when the one at work went down.....I don't, ahem, normally run bittorrent at work, but I cannot say for a 100% fact that it was running at the time the cf/ide monowall at work rebooted....but for sure it is running here the last three times, at the very least, that this one here at the house puked....

comments...?? other than don't run bittorrent...

ok, so far, so good....no bittorrent, no problems....


so, how can this be corrected, ie, there should be no reason why one could not run bittorrent behind a monowall....how can the glitch be corrected?
