strange reboot on FreeBSD 6.1

Hello,

I have a machine that I've been monitoring for strange reboots. The machine is hardly ever used, in fact it sits idle 99.9% of the time. When a hardware failure occurs, does FreeBSD still records 'reboot' in the last command ?

All the sudden at no specific intervals, the machine reboots. No user logins, no access, nothing triggers it. Just a reboot. This is what /var/log/all.log says:
