Nothing unusual in the transaction logs.  Just normal activity before and
after the crash.  I have about 500 meg in transactions logs so far today
(pretty normal).  I do a full backup every night which clears them out.

If there's no indication of problems with the disk, try checking the
transaction logs to see if a large number of logs were generated in a short
period of time corresponding to the hang.  I've seen instances where 5.5 SP4
servers become unresponsive to clients as a result of someone attempting to
send a *huge* attachment (500Mb+) and it bogged down the server.  If this
does prove to be the case then consider implementing internal message size
limits.

Dollars to donuts your HD went belly-up[1].

At least that would be the first thing to check on a perfectly running
Exchange server that nobody's been monkeying with.  

Check your event/RAID logs (whichever is appropriate).

Our exchange 5.5 server with sp4 installed just froze up.  It was not
responding to outlook clients and the cursor was not responsive.  I had to
resort to the reset button to restart it.  Is is possible that a malformed
mail message could have caused this?  Is there a post SP4 patch that might
help?  This server has never locked up like this in the last 2 years, and
nothing has changed recently.
