HI Naga ,
when you have the problem , what do you see in :
show failover
also do you have logs from the ASA at the the time of the failure .
please explain in details what you mean by "Standby going down"?

Hi Naga
The Cisco PIX FAILOVER hardware will reboot on its' own every 1 hour, whe the PRIMARY unit isn't available. This is the default behaviour of a Cisco PIX with SECONDARY license.
Please note that Cisco PIX hardware (come with full license) is twice the price of a Cisco PIX hardware (come with only failover license). A lot of customers out there will buy the Cisco PIX hardware (come with only failover license) instead thinking this is the cheapest way out but Cisco is smarter.
Please refer to https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/227567 and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/pix/pix63/configuration/guide/failover.pdf (Page 2 of 28).
