Yes, I've made some noise about this in the recent past, and
I recently saw someone else with "sudden reset"-problems on
a K8V motherboard.  The freezes are aparantly related to the
pagedeamon and what it does in low memory situations (I don't
know why all memory get hogged up though).  I ended up moving to
OpenBSD, which seems to be kinder to memory, and I haven't since
seen any freezes (but can't use my SATA drive).

I also had problems with sudden resets under high load.  I've
seen this once under OpenBSD as well.
