I thought my new MP was fine, but after 9 days... IT HAPPENED...

So I had been following the "reboot from sleep" issue closely as I've been planning on getting my new MP for awhile now..
I received my stock 8-core 2.8 last Wednesday and added 8gigs RAM from transintl and 2 500GB WD drives from OWC. I was knocking on wood and counting my blessings that after 5, 6, 7, and even 8 days my MacPro had never experienced the "Reboot" issue and I've had no graphics card issues..
I'd been posting in other threads that the problem may have been isolated to the initial production runs of the MP and that it seemed like it had been fixed with people receiving recent orders..
However, today (day 9,) it happened... I woke up this morning and went to wake up my machine and it did a restart...
BUMMER!
I guess no one is safe right now..

My MacPro was working fine for 3 days, no issues, no reboot from wake...then it happened to me. I hit the space bar..got the fans and chime - it rebooted!
I didn't freak. Also after reading all the issues, I decided to do two things:
• Reset the PRAM
• Reset the SMC
It's been working great ever since (past 2 days), and if it does it again, I'll reset the things again. No biggie. Apple will fix it. I don't think it's hardware. Probably drivers, and they'll resolve it. Even if they don't, this machine is so darn powerful that a little issue of reboot wouldn't taint my opinion of it. I would simply make the machine NOT go into sleep mode, but turn off the monitor and spin down the drives.
