Servers Crash every few days

[Aminuddin]

Thanks.
But the servers are dedicated servers rented from a datacenter. I'm not sure
if it hangs or panic. The provider just keep rebooting when we said servers
not responding.
 Will try to use mbmon. Is there any ports I can use to log what actually
happened before it hangs or crashes?

Do what Kris mentioned, but check for hardware issues as well; overheating,
voltage drops etc. The mbmon port running from cron and logging to another
machine can be helpfull here.
