Hey Steffen, Sorry to hear about your system reset problem. Since you're not seeing anything in the system logs is you thinking that the NIC's are involved due to the frequency of the failures seems to correspond to amount of system traffic? I'm asking as in my 7 years of maintaining the ixgbe driver this failure state is new to me. You could try loading the latest Source Forge driver verify this still fails with a slightly more recent driver, but really there shouldn't be much in the way for differences and nothing I would expect to correct this sort of failure. It almost sounds like a power issue, the way the system resets without even logging the problem, is your system BOIS up to date?
I know this isn't much in the way of help, but you have me at a bit of a loss on how the NIC could lead to this sort of immediate system reset.
