Yup, this happens when the box detect any problem with its 'power supply' and if You do an 'errpt -a -d H' it will display additionnal info on when the problem occured ... well unless it has been cleared by errclear which is also on root cron!
If everything is back to normal, just comment that line ...

wd_keepalive
WD_KEEPALIVE(8) System Manager's Manual WD_KEEPALIVE(8)
NAME
wd_keepalive - a simplified software watchdog daemon
SYNOPSIS
wd_keepalive [-c filename|--config-file filename]
DESCRIPTION
This is a simplified version of the watchdog daemon. If configured so it only opens
.IR /dev/watchdog , and keeps writing to it often enough to keep the kernel from resetting, at least once per minute. Each write delays
the reboot time another minute. After a minute of inactivity the watchdog hardware will cause a reset. In the case of the software watchdog
the ability to reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts.
The wd_keepalive daemon can be stopped without causing a reboot if the device /dev/watchdog is closed correctly, unless your kernel is com-
piled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.
Under high system load wd_keepalive might be swapped out of memory and may fail to make it back in in time. Under these circumstances the
Linux kernel will reset the machine. To make sure you won't get unnecessary reboots make sure you have the variable realtime set to yes in
the configuration file watchdog.conf. This adds real time support to wd_keepalive: it will lock itself into memory and there should be no
problem even under the highest of loads.
On system running out of memory the kernel will try to free enough memory by killing process. The wd_keepalive daemon itself is exempted
from this so-called out-of-memory killer.
OPTIONS
Available command line options are the following:
-c config-file, --config-file config-file
Use config-file as the configuration file instead of the default /etc/watchdog.conf.
FILES
/dev/watchdog
The watchdog device.
/var/run/wd_keepalive.pid
The pid file of the running wd_keepalive.
