Every four hours is rather strange - are you able to telnet into the box
when it supposedly "locks up"? (or even ping it?)

I'll assume you've done a default installation (brown bag) and that
you've not tweaked any settings or anything - and should I assume you've
also checked through the system logs to see if there is anything
happening at those four hour intervals?
