Windows Server 2008 R2 shut itself down for no apparent reason

Our new server has been running basically fine for a few months. Twice, however, it shut itself down for no apparent reason.

The most recent occurrence was at 11:41pm a few days ago. The event logs show nothing untoward, and the last entry is a fairly mundane audit entry in the Security log. The UPS log shows no power issues. Nothing in particular was running, as it was after hours. Except of course the nightly backup, which starts at 10pm. The backup log also shows nothing interesting and just stops in the middle of the backup. Although the server is configured to write a kernel dump and restart, there is no memory dump and the system did not restart. It's an HP Proliant ML330 G6 Series server.

When the server was restarted manually the following morning, the following events were logged:

I've spent some time researching this and found very little of use. Anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE: Here are the relevant portions of the iLO2 log:

305 04/15/2011 23:42:00 Server reset. 
306 04/15/2011 23:42:00 Server power removed. 
307 04/15/2011 23:42:00 iLO 2 network link down. 
308 04/15/2011 23:42:00 iLO 2 network link up at 100 Mbps. 
309 04/16/2011 08:17:00 Server power restored. 

UPDATE: I increased the size of the paging file to allow for full kernel dumps, so if it's really a Windows crash, I'll be able to see what happened - the next time it happens.

UPDATE: The server firmware was already up to date.

UPDATE: There were a lot of updates available for drivers and system software. I've installed most of them and now I'm just waiting to see if the problem happens again.

UPDATE 2018Jun06: after six years of trouble-free operation, this problem has returned, occurring twice in the last week or so. I'm looking into the possibility that the front panel and its wiring are faulty.

UPDATE 2018Nov30: Finally swapped out the front panel cable assembly, but the problem still occurs. Next up is the power supply.

It's most likely a faulty power switch/LED cable kit. My ML310 G5 was doing the same thing, and that is what fixed the problem. Apparently, it is a known issue with HP.

I had this EXACT issue happening on my Server 2008 R2 box. It turns out that the Xeon 5000 series CPUS, which your machine does use, have an issue with 2008 R2 and Hyper-V role. I'm going out on a limb here and assuming you have the Hyper-V role installed, based on the issue being identical to the one I was having.

There is a hotfix from Microsoft available HERE. I installed it on my system, and it has been trouble free since then.

I'm going to go waaaaaaay out on a limb here, and say that you might need a firmware update. Source. We had something similar with our DL380 G6 a while back.
