Have you considered there might be a problem with the hardware and not the OS. maybe memory has become faulty. Ive got 62 FreeBSD 5.4 Servers running and they dont crash. Maybe you are using a piece of incompatible hardward, or something may have started to show signs of becoming faulty. Before you decide to rip out the OS and have potentially the same problem with OpenBSD or NetBSD, be sure its not something other then the OS. If you need some help in maybe trouble shooting the issue, feel free to post the points here.
