What kind of hardware is it? If it's a vendor built machine, have you  
tried running the diag tests from the vendor?  Our machines are  
pretty much dell, which you can either install the diag tests on a  
partition or make three floppy boot disks (unfortunately no cd, as of  
yet).

Have you tried running http://www.memtest86.com ?

When you said it's SMP, is it Hyperthreaded?  I doubt it would be  
causing the crashes, but you could try disabling that to see if it  
helps.
