This is weird.  You have a problem; you describe it and appear
to ask for some guidance; some pretty smart people give you the
likely diagnosis; you keep coming back with smart-arse responses
like this one rather than dealing with the "problem".

No they are not; one crashes and so it's not the same as the
others.  Your job is to find out where it's different.

It's almost certain that you've described a machine with faulty
hardware; the specific issue that is triggering it is not really
important.  The most likely fault is RAM; next is disk; next is
other stuff which is only worth checking after the first two
have been eliminated.

If the box really is mission-critical, replace it with a box
that works and then do basic hardware diagnosis on the elements
that have been suggested.  And then, when you have isolated the
fault, report back here if you wish.

This is pretty simple stuff and it would be better not to ask
for help if you don't want to listen to it when you get it.
