You need to evaluate whether it's more important for you to try to get the problem fixed, or to keep dealing with the downtime from the crashes. Trying to reproduce on a test machine is also a good idea. Unfortunately, debugging system problems does take work, but at the same time if you can't put the work in, it's not so likely you'll be able to resolve the problem. > NB: Why this kind of problem can happen ?
