Server crashing, no explanations

[twelcome at mobileemail.vodafonesa.co.za]

Have you tried disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS? I had the same problem with a herd of dell 2850s and the only fix under the conditions you describe seemed to be to disable the hyperthreading.

I guess it can, but in the past when hardware has failed for me, I
generally got some indicative errors in the logs.

I managed to move a lot of the intensive operations across to another
server and for the moment,its working much better on the other server
which has a newer kernel.

Cheers

Alan
