Apparently many are having this problem but I've never see it before a few days ago.
There is a lot of speculation -- bad/failing sd card(s) -- the Weather Channel App -- a bug in the latest software update (but that was a while ago not just last week). Now the Weather Channel App did get updated (last week I think) and so I've uninstalled it and have not seen the "reboot" connecting since.
Also strange behavior in locking up occasionally and having to pull the battery to get it to come back!
I've had an issue with it occasionally losing it's ringtone (which is downloaded and stored on the SD card) but I've been just "living" with that. (a reboot fixed it)
Man! I love my DroidX but not when it starts this sH*T!!!

Mine does a combination of those things and gets it all out of the way at once: It freezes, then reboots (fairly quickly I might add). Only with anything WiFi-related though; no USB issues.
The Weather Channel app has been a pain in the ass ever since Android 2.0, which leads me to my observation about DX's doing weird stuff: 99% of the time it's an app we have installed. I had to SBF flash mine after messing with files before figuring out how they work (trying to change the notification bar color
) and suddenly previous minor annoyances disappear...that is until I pull all my apps that are backed up on SD, then funny stuff happens again. I personally haven't had anything that was a total showstopper so I'm not sufficiently motivated to start uninstalling stuff one at a time to figure out what's causing what, but that's where I would look for a cause. Also try clearing the cache; boot into Recovery by pressing the Power button while holding the Home and Camera button at the same time; Andy and a warning symbol should appear. Hit the Search button and the Recovery menu should appear. choose "wipe cache partition" and reboot when it's finished. Then go after whatever's using the most CPU first as I've found that'll cause the most problems: I got an app called System Panel, it cost a few bucks (literally $2 or $3 IIRC) but it'll show you graphically what's doing what as far as CPU/RAM (in addition to task manager stuff) and is an excellent app. Doesn't hog a bunch of resources like a lot of task managers do. Hope that helps. FWIW we should be getting Gingerbread in about a month if my hunch/Verizon's scheduling holds.
