Help Random Reboots?

I have only had this happen once... but it wasn't exactly the same thing. I had the phone plugged in ... sitting on the table next to my couch...

Next time I looked at the phone I was at the bootloader screen (The screen you get when you power up while holding the trackball). I pulled the battery and it hasn't happened again. Very weird.

This has happened to me also. It typically happens after a phone call. Sometimes the screen will freeze after a call and then reboot after a min. Other times the call will end, but the green call icon will stay in the top left. I can't select the activity because the top drawer won't pull down and then the phone will reboot.

It seems like making calls is the weakest point of the phone.

Well then lucky you.. what's your secret? I had to reboot yesterday to get my APNs to work again and then today I had another random reboot when I was trying to answer a call.
The phone rings twice, I check who's calling and try to slide the unlock bar.. Once, twice, three times to no avail when suddenly, without even powering down I see the startup logo appear on my screen..

It just snapped from the incoming call screen to the bootloader in a second after freezing for like 2 seconds.
I have no clue what could have caused this =/
