I just realized that I always turn this option (wherever it may be) off

that way you might have a better chance of knowing what precisely is
causing these spontaneous reboots in the first place, so you could stop
them.

Does anybody else know what I'm talking about? ;-) ?


Yes, but like you I can't remember where you set it. You can also pass it
as an option to the kernel when booting.

I don't really think it will help here, the system log should contain
everything Mark needs, providing it's not a hard reboot that prevents the
last log messages being flushed to disk.

I think you're talking about the hangcheck timer?
