In addition to WITNESS you may add the following in your kernel config:

options        MUTEX_DEBUG
options        WITNESS  # you already have that
options        WITNESS_KDB           
options        DEBUG_MEMGUARD  # only for 6.x

options        INVARIANTS
options        INVARIANT_SUPPORT

Do you do something specific when the machine reboots?

If the reboots continue with the above options I guess you should start
to replace the hardware part by part - try with another memory,
than another motherboard, etc.

Good Luck!
