First thing I would do is check the temperature. In my experience,
excessive heat is the main reason for unexpected shutdown operations.

I'm using the nifty Glances utility (available in EPEL) to do basic
monitoring. If your server overheats, you'll gradually see your
temperature indicator turn from green to purple and then to red. I know
there are other utilities, but this is good for checking this sort of
stuff in real-time.

Cheers,

Niki
