General recommendations which may influence this problem:
* Update the BIOS and other embedded firmware to their current versions
* Make sure all online updates are applied
* Some configurations have ACPI-related problems (which can manifest as
spontaneous system halts) that can be worked around by using a kernel
parameter "acpi=oldboot".

What's Sun's hardware diagnostics tools' verdict on this system?
