Thanks Aaron
But it is not a hardware fault causing the reboot - I have a kernel module loaded that will crash when fed with specific data, it is repeatable, and will always bring the system down.
Found it was down to a null pointer being referenced, so a quick check is made first. A chance to view the oops report first might have made it a little easier to nail.
Regards, Paul.
P.S. Thanks also to Adam and Steve for their comments.

I have had the same problem with about 4 computers at work. It turned out that some of the capacitors near the CPU's were leaking and causing the computers to reboot.
