memtest86 will test your memory. Random crashes usually caused by faulty memory. http://www.memtest86.com/
If you suspect motherboard or processor you can put it under load for a while.
mprime torture test is good for that. Run for a day or two (read the readme
file):

Thank You. I couldn't get the mersenne.org program to run on my RHEL ES 3 though. From what I read, it won't run on that right now and I really didn't want to have to reformat the system....yet. Thanks for the memtest though. It had been so long since I had to do any of these tests that I forgot which ones to use for what. I am in the process of moving and most of my programs are packed up so I didn't have them to look through.
Thanks Steve
