I have a Ubuntu 11.04 box running 24/7. It started to crash any couple of days recently. I checked in kern.log, dmesg... but did not find anything there. N Is there a specific place where shutdown reason (temperature, or whatever) are logged ?

I would start with checking out /var/log/syslog. It's a catch all for syslog messages.
