Thanks to Scott Kulp, Dennis Keller, Zion Huang and Jonathan Loh for replies.
Zion had the same problem last year which ended up replacing both the CPU
and motherboard. In our case the box has been running without problems
for the last 6 months (since we added another CPU (X1188A, 501-4791))

Solution: Apart from opening up the box and see if any of the fans has died,
pulled out all the memory, CPUs and re-seat them again. So far after 4 days
it is still stable.

Thanks,
Kai
