and usually caused by hardware problems (e.g. faulty power supply, overheating CPU, bad RAM).
Possible, but if so, the hardware fixed itself on the first two boxes I mentioned.
All of this can be bad, or not quite bad -- just not healthy -- hardware. Say a power supply that can't supply reliable +5, when the line voltage drops a tad while all the disks are being hammered. It can be a nightmare to figure out. Setup crash dumps, but also make sure that the UPS the box is attached to isn't having problems. If it's not on conditioned power, fix that.
