how to do "auto-reboot when..."

| Hi, just a quickie,
My Debian is on very old machine Pentium 150mhz. 90MB ram.
So,
It crashes sometimes with "FATAL ERROR..." and I have to reboot.
I only use it for web server.
Though this problem don't happen too frequently. Just perhaps once a week or
so. But I don't wanna wait til someone told me I had to reboot.
So is there a way I can set my system, cron? script? something...so that
whenever it is reaching fatal error, or freezing, it will reboot on its own.
Coz I don't have time as to upgrade or fix the fatal error...unless you got
the time and expertise to tell me right away which is even better of course.
Thank you for reading this...and please help me
Tim

What is the exact error message you get?

Well I would say that 90 megs is a little on the low side for a web
server (depending on which web server you are running, number of pages
served, etc). It will very likely be using swap, and fatal errors will
occur when running out of swap/virtual memory. How much swap do you have?

In order to help, it would be really useful if you posted more details
regarding the nature of the fatal error. Is there anything in /var/log
you think may be appropriate?

| Well, I'm not talking about fixing it. I'm talking about rebooting it.
