Maybe your power supply is going bad and delivering marginal voltages?
Do you have it in a redundant config, or could you try adding a second PSU?

That's interesting but not really conclusive.  If it's taking 2-5 days for

overnight (12+ hours, and it would be better to run them for longer) to really
catch anything.
