server crashed to debug screen

Hi, I recently installed ESXi 5.1 to a Apple Mini Server. In VM Client status shows everything normal. however, every few days, the system crashed and run into debug screen. I have two questions:

1. I prefer the server reboot automatically without stay on the debug screen and waiting for me to type "reboot" because most of the time, it crashed over night and I won't be able to reboot it until morning. Is it possible to make it reboot automatically?

2. Could anyone give me some direction on how to troubleshoot this, please?

Thank you,

Aldous

take a screen shot of your psod, that would help diagnose.

also here is how to get your host to reboot after a psod
