Some obvious things...

Are there any stuff in the logs?

Have you applied all system updates, especially the kernel or even
better rolled your own from the latest source.


I take it this is a pretty reproduceable problem, perhaps you could try
putting the system under stress say a make -j4 on the kernel source see
if they quickens the reset. Perhaps at some point a run of memtest86
would be good, but perhaps rule out other problems first.


Hmm, Also RH 7.2 is pretty old. Perhaps RH 7.3 would be a better
starting point.
