chkrootkit could be useful if someone/something has planted some nasties
in your server, ClamAV as mentioned for virus scanning, lmsensors (and
related tools) to check on what your server is trying to tell you (maybe
it's getting too hot under load and crapping out, maybe a fan is busted
inside, etc) and if it happens again, I'd be on the phone to the vendor
getting an engineer out to look at it.
