    I presume you're trying to track down the odd restarting problem.
    I'd suggest backing up your Newt ... twice if you're really careful ...
then do a brainwipe. See if the problem occurs with nothing installed. If it
does, that would indicate a hardware problem of some kind. If it doesn't a
software problem is likely indicated. And sometimes a brainwipe and restore
will solve problems for no apparent reason.
