My experience is that there are usually 2 reasons for crashes on the 650.
The first is an app that really has a bug. If you were happy going
along before this started, and didn't install any new apps, then this is
not likely the culprit.
The second is low available memory. Because of our friend the NVFS
(non-volatile file system) on the 650's, the Treo copies data back and
forth between the stored area and what's called the "DbCache" -
basically working memory that it needs to use to access the data. When
the device gets low on memory, or when the DbCache gets fragmented, it
can fail to copy the data that's needed, and that often causes a reset.
This can happen asynchronously to other apps if you're using background
apps that the Treo tries to start while you're doing something else.
Even if you haven't added new apps, if you've added additional data
items or files to the Treo, that could reduce the amount of available
memory and cause crashes.
Is there something on your device that you could remove to free up space?
An alternative to consider is Resco Locker (RLock), which locks certain
apps into the cache. I used it to lock the apps I use the most, and
which do the most background stuff (ChatterEmail, TakePhone, and
Verichat). Once I did that, my incidence of resets went way down.
YMMV, of course, but it might be worth looking into...
