I would look at the hardware and the immediate environment. Overheat? Power supply dying or stuck fans? Bad ram or dirty connectors? Etc.
Unit is in a climate-controlled datacenter, and it is practically brand-new. (4 weeks). I'll check the fans and ps voltage. Meantime it crashed again last night.
Any chance the RAID controller is to blame for this (3ware 7006)? or should I swap out the RAM as a first step?
Running memtest for 24 hours should be enough to test the ram. A 3ware 7006 is a fairly old card. Does it have the latest bios available from 3ware? You could always eliminate the 3ware controller by installing a drive on whatever built in controller it has.
