I think it is either watchdog or some stonith method (power off/cycle 
the machine). You can try for example 'lsof | grep watchdog' to see 
whether the watchdog device is opened.

If you can supply your heartbeat, monit and scripts configuration as 
described Hauk, then it will be much easier to find the problem.
