Check the caps, run memtest, if it's not on a UPS, perhaps consider the power supply. If you have a way to know if there was a brownout at that time period (ala other UPSes that do reporting via apcupsd or some-such), power supply might be a suspect.
(It's a box with Shorewall firewall, bind9, postfix, mailscanner, clamav, spamassassin, webmin and a kitchen sink. It's got ~400MB RAM, and 2 10GB HD in a software raid config. all with a AMDk6/500 processor.)
Other than that, if you can't reliably make it fail, it's of course difficult to troubleshoot. :(
