I've had psu's do this, video cards, ram, even usb devices cause weird hardware-ish problems.  Check dmesg and /var/log as well for errors/events, could indicate a flaky device.

I thought the new ram perhaps was bad, but memtest looked ok.  It took some digging, but guess I picked up a bug in using an old intel graphics driver inadvertently, removed that driver, and I've had 70 days of uptime since.

Turns out it was graphics related, just the display froze, but the system worked otherwise headless.  This led me to investigate graphics as a source of the lockups to fix at a driver level.  If you have another system available, I'd suggest that.
