You could look in your system log around the time of your reboots, and
also importantly use 'ps aux' and 'top' to see what's running when the
system is up to see what's taking so much of your CPU. Also checking
'dmesg' and 'lspci -v' might reveal whether there are several devices
sharing IRQs.

You could also remove the ivtv card/modules from the system if you
believe it is causing the reboots and see if the system stabilises
without it.
