I doubt that it would be the problem given today's modern hardware, but pre-PCI days hardware conflicts could often cause intermittent crashes. However, it was usually with more frequency than what you're describing. Anyway, have you tried actually taking out all but necessary hardware (and possibly replacing anything else) and testing. If you can pinpoint it down to a specific piece of hardware, you can continue to test with drivers and such to confirm if it is a hardware or software problem and so on.
