For the records...
Thanks for your responses and here is feedback: - ssh root login is limited to certain ip's only... - reboot is definitely a "cold reboot" but I am not a native english speaker :) - power surge/temporary failure is not a case, datacenter has expensive power equipment - nor cpu heat is a case. I placed an extra thermometer and moved server to the frond of cold air inlet. - lmsensors or sensors does not exists. - I tested with/out crons before. Pretty sure no relation with crons. - External and internal services were expected to leave some marks. Did a cronned "ps ax" and checked processes that run before restart, nothing suspicious.
Consequently: I had 4 DDR ECC RAM modules each 2 GB paired in 2 different brands. Each brand functioned well as 4GB total but when all are installed nightmare begins. I guess (this time a real guess) I have a problem with my RAM settings. 8 GB may cause this problem, may be a serious page fault etc... Without grub parameter "mem=" server boots very slowly and also responses very slowly.
Maybe I need a new thread title "Server too slow or too unstable with 8 GB RAM" :)
Thanks...
