[Q] Random reboots at idle? (Tiamat 1.4.4)

I recently unlocked/rooted my Xoom and flashed Tiamat 1.4.4 kernel. At some point over the next few days, I noticed that my Xoom was randomly doing full reboots periodically while idle with the screen off. I started backing my overclock down from 1.5, to 1.4, and then to the stock 1.0ghz. I have also tried doing a full factory wipe from CFW and then restoring from the backup I created when I first flashed the kernel, and the reboots still persist. I also find it odd that I can run a stress test in SetCPU for 1+ hour with no reboot or hang. Is anyone else having this issue on this kernel? Is my only option to flash back to the stock kernel? Could this be a hardware issue?

I did have this, about once or twice per day with 1.4.4. After I updated to Tiamat ROM 1.0, I have had no spontaneous reboots.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea what piece of the ROM might have caused the fix? There are parts of the Tiamat ROM that I don't need, and would like to avoid what I can. Also, does anyone know of an app that will create an event log that will stay throughout a reboot to help troubleshoot the cause? I tried OSMonitor but it wipes on reboot.

Sorry, I have no idea.
