Have you installed the latest kernel? I seem to remember 3 or four errata releases since the release. There were some virtual memory bugs that took a long time (several releases) to get right. Try and run sar on the machine so at least you will have data every 10 minutes by default about what was happening leading up to the crash. I had major problems with 7.2 that caused the box to apparently hang but kswapd was actually eating 99% of the cpu and it would take over 20 minutes to get an ssh prompt. I seem to remember that there were still s few issues in the early 7.3 kernels as well. BTW I believe some of this only showed up on specific hardware.
