setup crashdumps. there is a wiki someplace for how to set them up and how to test that crashdumps are working right.
And leave the screen on the text console, you may get a kernel dump. If you get a kernel dump and/or kernel message on the screen odds are it is a software issue. Usually on a fatal hw issue (PCIe error, machine check exceptions) the bios will reset the machine immediately and you won't get a crashdump/message on the screen but the machine will be found up but rebooted. None of the MB vendors price support(they only provide warranty of the hw, and will usually immediately claim it is a software issue) into their products and will look for any excuse to say not their issue.
