cd /var/crash/`hostname`
any files in there?
once the system is up, what do you see in the messages file, prior to the system going down?
what h/w model are you using? Is the firmware upgraded to the recommended or whichever latest?
Does the system run on only one power supply?
How often that the system goes down?
What do you mean by crash? you saw the panic string when the system come down or it just powered off or just dropped to ok> prompt?
Are the boot disks mirrored? Any errors that you find on the OS? Be it HDD problem or whatever..
