Since I'm new to freeBSD, can If the machine hangs for no apparent reason, it's usually not software related but rather a hardware fault. Perhaps pull the machine out and run it on your desk for a while (if practical) and see if perhaps the CPU fan stops spinning or there is anything that seems to hot inside. Also, what might be usefull, is to set up a log which catches everything for a while. To do this, add the following to your syslog.conf: *.* /var/log/everything and then touch the file /var/log/everything so it exists. If the machine then crashes, go and see what the last message was (if there was one that's maybe related). Another thing you could try would be to turn try turn off power management in the machine's bios.
