Have you tried going back to the previous kernel? Did you check dmesg and /var/log/messages? Does it boot normally and then just fail at some random interval or is it consistently failing at the same point?

Other things you may consider: CPU type? temperature? potential hard drive issue? any new hardware attached or installed recently? Notice any power surges or brownouts? any other nodes having issues? 

Recent power surge zapped a board, DSL modem, and the surge protector. Come on newegg....
