    So the machine hangs after sitting for some period of time?

    Have you looked through all the log files? /var/log/messages?

    Can you determine exactly what time the machine hangs/crashes? You may
    want to put a cron job in which writes to a log file once a minute if
    you have trouble determining what time the machine crashes.

    What is the temperature of the system like? (Have seen a heat problem
    on one box I had which would raise just enough when the AC would cut off
    at night to cause the box to crash)

    (old story from somewhere, big computer center and one of the
    minicomputers kept crashing each week in the evenings. By the time the
    admin got there the system was back on line. After several weeks of
    this the admin stayed late to try and figure out what was happening. As
    it got closer to the time of the weekly crash the cleaning people came
    in and went into the computer room. Shortly after that the system
    crashed. The admin ran into the computer room to see the cleaning
    people vacuuming. As the admin started looking over the machine to see
    what was wrong the vacuuming stopped and the cleaning person unplugged
    the vacuum and plugged the minicomputer back in which started to
    reboot.)
