    It sounds like some part of your computer is getting too hot and 
then failing. This leaves no log entry and it could be something 
stressed when you run xendom0 whatever that is. I googled xen dom0 and 
found it speeds up your server and that makes me even more certain your 
computer is getting too hot. I would check around the CPU.
