Have you found your Mac Mini rebooting spontaneously, with no crash dumps?

My Mini has been spontaneously rebooting for about a month. There were no crash dumps and no panic screens...just a reboot.

Today, it happened and noticed my network transfers were slow, running at 100BT instead of GigE. I took a look, and not only did the Mac auto-negotiate at 100BT, there was a setting in the Hardware I'd never seen before: AVB/EAV mode.

I set it to manual 1000BT full-duplex and turned off AVB/EAV mode, and no reboots for the last day. Usually it reboots every few hours.
This is running 10.12.6

Hope this helps someone.
