If this was something like a kernel panic there would be a message in /var/log/messages
If nothing is in there then it's probably failing hardware. My experiences in those cases is that no matter what logging you turn on, nothing gets logged, the machine just reboots. If it's a remote colocated server maybe the UPS it's on is shot, and it's getting power fluctuations. Or maybe it's overheating or it's clogged with dust.
