At the risk of sounding completely ignorant, I have never encountered
that problem on a board that wasn't fautly in some way.

Sounds rather like your board/memory/CPU is faulty in some way, your PSU
doesn't give enough power, or CPU is overheating.

Never heard of ULi chipset. What I can recommend is the GA-K8VM800M -
it's a mATX board, socket 754. Yes it's VIA chipset but I can assure
you they don't reboot spontaneously. I run a number of web/mail/dns
servers based on that board and they all have uptimes of over 100 days,
under fairly heavy loads.
