Also, if it's a kernel memory exhaustion problem for some reason, you might not see much in the logs. Try rebooting it once in the middle of when it normally restarts (say, 4 or 5 days in) and see if the "regular" reboot time changes.

McAfee Enterprise Every other Monday for about the last 6 weeks, it reboots at approx 6am I've run Malawarebytes, and virusscan, and found nothing. I have 8 others just like it running the same software on the same equipment, and they have no issues. I've found nothing. Nothing obvious in the event logs. Has anyone else had something similar happen? Or any suggestions as to what may be causing it?
