In my experience, random crashes/reboots are almost certainly hardware issu=
es.
Sometimes a card or memory module isn't seated properly (especially after a
machine has been moved). But other times it's things like memory modules or
power supplies failing.

Sometimes logging things like voltages, CPU temperatures and fan RPM can gi=
ve
you a clue.

At $WORK I've experienced spectacular power supply blow-outs because
(conductive) carbon fibers caused a short circuit in it. So dust et cetera =
can
also be a problem, but usually not with new systems.
