In my experience, this would be bad hardware. If you have the machine setup
to save crash dumps (you have something like dumpdev="/dev/twed0s1b" in
rc.conf right?) and it never saves one I would lean towards hardware as the
cause. If you can hookup a serial console to it to log any panic's to the
screen and if its always in a different location or you never see a panic
message, this would further point to hardware.
