I ever had experience a little similiar with yours, my debian system crashed 3 times in 10 days, it was said to be caused by a harddisk problem, but my harddisk is quit new, and windows installed in another partition works fine. I think it might be caused by Samba and Pidgin(with heavy network tranffic and frequent harddisk writes), i'm not sure whether my guess is true. but for my new installations, i didn't install samba, and disabled those accounts with heavy traffic in pidgin, only kept accounts with normal traffic in pidgin.
This has happened with mine too until i found out that it was because of buggy RAM. If your machine is just crashing randomly ... then you have a good chance to check the RAM to see if it is all fine... (boot into the install DVD and in the install prompt of the DVD just say memtest86+
The only program with frequent hard disk writes is deluge. I gues that explains no matter what OS I'm using since I'm always downloading files it will still happens.
