For me I think it is X11. I have my box set up right now to use gdm (the Gnome display manager), so if X11 exits, the computer reboots. I should get rid of gdm and start the other daemons individually.

It happened to me about a week ago, where I was viewing a page with IE6 in Wine. It froze; I could not get any console windows, and then it just rebooted. I'd bet that was X11. I've had quite some issues with that over the last six months or so, likely because I use dual monitors in Xinerama and the nVidia driver.
